Literature is organized chronologically to present the literature of
the United States in a historical context. The following list shows the
units and sections within each unit.
* The New Land: Native American Voices, Living in
the New Land
* The Revolutionary Period
* A Growing Nation
* New England Renaissance: The Transcendentalists,
New England Poets
* Division, War and Reconciliation
* Realism and the Frontier: Prose, Poetry
* The Modern Age: Fiction
* Nonfiction, Poetry
* The Harlem Renaissance Contemporary Writers:
Fiction
* Nonfiction, Poetry
* Drama
Features at the end of the selection are designed to foster
comprehension and encourage constructive response, either personal or
literary. The study questions are built upon three levels of
comprehension: the literal, the interpretive, and the applied. These
features encourage the growth of skills needed by students to become
independent readers.
Math
Math Requirement 3 Credits to Graduate
you only need 3 credits in math to graduate unless you are geared
towards the Honors/ College Path which requires 4 credits
Algebra 2
Algebra 2 is made up of five instructional components: Introduction of
the New Increment, Examples with Complete Solutions, Practice of the
Increment, Daily Problem Set, and Cumulative Tests. Lesson reference
numbers are included with the Daily Problem Sets, identifying lessons
students can review if they have difficulty in solving the problems.
Algebra 2 not only treats topics that are traditionally covered in
second-year algebra, but also covers a considerable amount of geometry.
Time is spent developing geometric concepts and writing proof outlines.
Students completing Algebra 2 will have studied the equivalent of one
semester of informal geometry. Applications to subjects such as physics
and chemistry, as well as real-world problems, are also covered. The
Test Masters include complete solutions for all tests, and solutions
for all practice problems are included in the Solutions Manual.
Algebra 2 includes such topics as:
* graphical solution of simultaneous equations
* basic trigonometric functions
* scientific notation
* radicals
* conic sections
* roots of quadratic equations, including complex
roots
* properties of real numbers
* geometric proofs
* factoring
* inequalities and systems of inequalities
* logarithms and antilogarithms
* exponential equations
* algebra of polynomials
* vectors
* algebraic word problems
* gas law
* set theory
Advanced Mathematics
Advanced Mathematics is made up of five instructional components:
Introduction of the New Increment, Examples with complete Solutions,
Practice of the Increment, Daily Problem Set, and Cumulative Tests. In
Advanced Mathematics, topics from algebra, geometry, trigonometry,
discrete mathematics, and mathematical analysis are interwoven to form
a fully integrated text. A rigorous treatment of Euclidean geometry is
also presented. Word problems are developed throughout the problem sets
and become progressively more elaborate. With this practice, students
will be able to solve challenging problems such as rate problems and
work problems involving abstract quantities. The graphing calculator is
used to graph functions and perform data analysis.
Conceptually-oriented problems that prepare students for college
entrance exams (such as the ACT and SAT) are included in the problem
sets.
Advanced Mathematics includes such topics as:
* permutations and combinations
* trigonometric identities
* inverse trigonometric functions
* conic sections
* graphs of sinusoids
* rectangular and polar representation of complex
numbers
* De Moivre's theorem
* matrices and determinants
* the binomial theorem
* the rational roots theorem
