Fundamental Algebra I
This course is remedial and is taken over a two-year period. The fundamentals of algebra will be drilled and constantly reviewed. Note taking skills will be stressed throughout the course. The instructor will work at a pace to accommodate students' needs. As the students master the basics, they will be introduced to equators and ultimately learn to graph and solve the basic equations, linears and quadratics.
Algebra I
This course reflects New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards. It provides mathematically sound and comprehensive coverage of the topics considered essential in Algebra. The strategy of the course is to enforce the student's mastery of math skills such as basic operations, solving equations, and evaluating algebraic expressions and functions.

Algebra I Honors
This course ensures the students' understanding of the relationship between oral and written communications. It provides the ideas of algebra in compact form with extensive use of mathematical symbols that are applied in the solution of a wide variety of problems. The curriculum gives the students confidence in solving word problems independently and helps them develop their reasoning power. Evaluating expressions and functions, using properties of operation, and solving equations algebraically and graphically are skills developed in this course. Identifying and interpreting the information provided by geometric diagrams, graphs and charts are emphasized

Advanced Algebra/ Trigonometry
This course will cover advanced topics in algebra and will give a strong background in trigonometry. The students will get a deeper understanding of linear and quadratic equations. Conic sections and college algebra topics will complete the algebra section. The second section of the course will be dedicated to trigonometry.
Algebra II
The main goal of the course is to ensure that students master key algebra skills; solve any equations or inequalities and have a good foundation of the concept of function. The course emphasizes graphing and the relationship between graphs and equations. Algebra II has been designed to make math accessible and inviting to a wide range of students regardless of their future career goals. Students will review all algebraic methods while using technology and developing proficiencies and strengthening the understanding of underlying concepts.

Geometry Honors
This course reflects New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards by emphasizing reasoning and logical thinking. It balances coordinate, synthetic and transformational geometry. The course integrates technology as a problem-solving tool. Geometry is connected to algebra, data analysis, probability, trigonometry and discrete mathematics. The honors course is intended for students who enter with strong mathematical and problem-solving skills and who are able to understand new concepts quickly. The course covers all recommended material. The daily assignments include all the material in the core course plus additional exercises that focus on higher-order thinking skills.
Prerequisite:90+ Average in Algebra I Honors

Pre Calculus
This course is essential for those who need a strong foundation in mathematics to prepare them for college.
The basic tendency of analysis is to unify all high school mathematics. It will be a challenging and rewarding experience for those who have the mathematical maturity to delve into the depths of complication.
Prerequisite:90+ Average in Geometry

Calculus
This course is taught with greater attention to precision and detail. It is intended for students who are interested in covering the multiple areas calculus can be applied, without doing an in-depth study of the subject. It appeals to those who have a strong interest in applied mathematics or physics. Technology will be highly incorporated in this course.

AP Calculus
This course offers a challenge to students who have a keen interest in mathematics. Calculus is the mathematics of change of velocities, accelerations, and rates. It is also the mathematics of tangent lines, arc lengths, areas, volumes, centroids, and curvatures. Calculus is a variety of concepts that have enabled scientists, engineers, and economists to model real-life situations. Calculus is a reformulation of pre-calculus mathematics through the use of a limit process that generates the two parts of calculus: differentiation and integration. It requires an in-depth mastery of principles and applications of the complete high school mathematics program and an enthusiasm to delve into more complex problems, which offer opportunities for mental discipline, as well as enrichment in the field. All students are required to take the Advanced Placement Examination in May and to pay the fee for the test
