AP Statistics 2014-2015
Advancement Placement Statistics Students use a non-theoretical approach to the study of statistics in which concepts are explained intuitively and supported by examples. The applications are general in nature and include problems from agriculture, business, biology, economics, education, psychology, engineering, medicine, sociology, and computer science. This course is designed to create a framework in which students who find math challenging can gain a fundamental understanding of the importance of statistical analysis. At the same time, students who wish to pursue a math or science related career would acquire a strong foundation in statistics upon which they can build in advanced courses. Prerequisite: Advanced Mathematics

Geometry A
Geometry A Students will explore geometric concepts and relationships using the tools of geometry: compass, straightedge, ruler and protractor. They will, through exploration and inductive reasoning, be able to write their own definitions from their observations. Through this approach, geometry students will acquire a strong background in the concepts of plane and solid geometry and a beginning knowledge of trigonometry. The pace will be somewhat slower and some concepts may be approached less rigorously then that described at the beginning of this description. However, all basic concepts will be studied and applied in practical situations. Prerequisites Algebra I

FST
Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry (1 credit) This course is designed for students who haven't made a final decision concerning a college major. For a student choosing engineering or another science based career, Advanced Math is the best choice. For a student choosing a career in psychology, the social sciences or some of the many healthcare fields, Statistics is the best course. For the student who is uncertain in which direction he will go, Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry (FST) will allow for a foundation on which he can build in post-secondary courses. All three areas of mathematics will be studied but not to the degree offered in the above-mentioned courses. A student will build on concepts offered earlier in our curriculum and will acquire skills utilized in college math courses. Prerequisites: Algebra II and Geometry.
