BUSINESS CALCULUS CP

Lowest Grade Placement: 11 Credit: 1

Prerequisite: Precalculus CP or Pre-AP

Rank: College Preparatory

This course, intended for students in the five-year math program, prepares students for college Calculus I and placement tests administered at different universities. Among topics included are concepts associated with the limit of a function, concepts and skills associated with the derivative, concepts and skills associated with the technique of integration and introduction to the application of calculus with special functions. Series (infinite) are optional, depending on time available. This course is suggested for non-

engineering, college-bound students. The smaller amount of

application presented is geared to Business Calculus and Calculus I classes in colleges. The students do not take the AP Calculus AB Test, so topics such as L’Hospital’s Rule and in-depth applications (three variable derivatives and integral) are omitted. NOTE: This advanced course serves the identified gifted/talented student.

Among the topics are: functions, graphs and limits; derivatives and their applications; and integrals and their applications. This course is taught from an algebraic and geometric approach with technology used regularly to reinforce the relationships among

the multiple representations. During the course AP Calculus exam questions are correlated to the subject matter. This course prepares the student for the AP Calculus AB exam and provides a firm foundation for those who wish to take the AP Calculus BC course /exam the following year. Students are required to take the AP Calculus

exam. NOTE: This advanced

course serves the gifted and talented student.

2612 MATHEMATICAL

MODELS WITH

APPLICATIONS Lowest Grade Placement: 11 Credit: 1

Prerequisite: Algebra 1 Recommendation: Credit in Geometry

Rank: SD

For freshmen entering 07-08, this course will satisfy math graduation requirement, if taken prior to Algebra 2. This course allows students to continue to build on the K-8 and Algebra 1 foundations as they expand their understanding through other mathematical experiences. Students use algebraic, graphical, and geometric reasoning to recognize patterns and structure, to model information, and to solve problems from various disciplines. Students use mathematical methods to model and solve real-life applied problems involving money, data, chance, patterns, music, design, and science. Students use mathematical models from algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics and connections among these to solve problems from a wide variety of advanced applications in both mathematical and non- mathematical situations. Students use a variety of representations (concrete, numerical algorithmic, graphical), tools, and technology to link modeling techniques and purely mathematical concepts and to solve applied problems.
