Mathematics

Pre-Algebra  MAT 099  2 semester - (.5 credit per semester)
The course includes the topics of manipulation of  numbers, solving of  equations and understanding of  the general principles at work. Students will compute interest through percentages,  compare rational numbers with scientific notation, and convert fractional numbers between fractions, decimals, and percents. Practical application through the incorporation of word problems is required in this course.The connection of math to real world problems will also be explored with STEM projects throughout each semester. This will develop the interconnection of coursework as well as develop critical thinking skills.

Algebra 1  MAT 100  2 semester - (.5 credit per semester)
The course also includes a study of ratios, proportions, functions, variations, radicals, right triangle relationships, and the Pythagorean theorem. This course is a year long course that is in the blended version with our partnership with IVS.  The connection of math to real world problems will also be explored with STEM projects throughout each semester. This will develop the interconnection of coursework as well as develop critical thinking skills. Student advocacy and development of a self learner to be come a leader is emphasized.

he connection of math to real world problems will also be explored with STEM projects throughout each semester. This will develop the interconnection of coursework as well as develop critical thinking skills. Student advocacy and development of a self learner to be come a leader is emphasized. 


Math Applications MAT 202  2 semester - (.5 credit per semester)
grade level: 10th , 11th, 12th    prerequisite: previous math course
Topics in mathematics that every educated person needs to know to process, evaluate, and understand the numerical and graphical information in our society. Applications of mathematics in problem solving, finance, probability, statistics, geometry, population growth. The approach is an everyday application of math in society. 

Math Foundations MAT 301  2 semester - (.5 credit per semester)
grade level: 10th , 11th, 12th    prerequisite: previous math course
Topics in mathematics that every educated person needs to know to process, evaluate, and understand the numerical and graphical information.  Content focuses on strengthening the algebraic and geometry foundations with some trigonometry.

Geometry MAT 302  2 semester - (.5 credit per semester)
prerequisite: Algebra I  MAT 100 or  101    grade level: 10th , 11th, 12th
This course is a year long course that is in the blended version with our partnership with IVS.Course topics include reasoning, proof, and the creation of sound mathematical arguments; congruence, similarity, transformations, and constructions; coordinate geometry; three-dimensional solids; and applications of probability. This course supports all students as they develop computational fluency, deepen conceptual understanding, and apply Common Core's eight mathematical practice skills.
SAT prep is also included within the curriculum of the course so all math skills are up to date. The connection of math to real world problems will also be explored with STEM projects throughout each semester. This will develop the interconnection of coursework as well as develop critical thinking skills. Student advocacy and development of a self learner to be come a leader is emphasized. 

Algebra II  MAT 303  2 semester - (.5 credit per semester)
prerequisite: algebra II     10th with teacher approval, 11th, 12th
This course  covers equations, inequalities, polynomials, radical expressions, complex number operations, quadratic equations, a study of ratios, proportions, functions, variations, radicals, right triangle relationships, and the Pythagorean theorem. SAT prep is also included within the curriculum of the course so all math skills are up to date. This course is a year long course that incorporated with an IVS program. The connection of math to real world problems will also be explored with STEM projects throughout each semester. This will develop the interconnection of coursework as well as develop critical thinking skills. Student advocacy and development of a self learner to be come a leader is emphasized. 

Pre-Calculus & Practical Applications  MAT 351   2 semester - (.5 credit per semester)
prerequisite: algebra II     10th with teacher approval, 11th, 12th

Statistics  MAT 251  2 semester - (.5 credit per semester)
11th, 12th,  prerequisite: algebra II

Other Options:
**These course descriptions are verbatim from the ICC academic catalog.  To be approved to take ICC courses, administration (vice principal, dean, counselor) and teacher recommendations are considered. These courses are at the college  but through the Early College program they are offered to students who would meet the age requirement by the college and the expectations of the DU administration/teachers.  Classes that maybe enrolled in are those that would go towards the general education requirements or transfer acceptance requirements at most college. To read more, here is a link to the Transfer Agreement pace at ICC.
All of these are semester courses which  count as 1 full credit per class for DU graduation as well as the college transcript credits.** ​​
