1. Which Math Class Should I Take Next Year?

2. What math class can I take next year? O Choices for Algebra 2 students: O PreCal O Advanced Quantitative Reasoning O Statistics (seniors only) O AP Statistics O Algebra 3 (seniors only)

3. PreCal O This course examines trigonometric functions and extends the applications of algebraic functions. O To succeed in this course, students must memorize the Unit Circle and all trig identities. This information will be needed daily from the beginning of the year through February. The following slide shows this important information:

5. Advanced Quantitative Reasoning O Type of class – O Student learning done in groups. A wide range of topics and types of math will be examined most of which you will be fairly familiar with. Analytically based O What will it prepare you for – O AQR “prepares students for a range of future options in non-mathematics-intensive college majors or for entering workforce training programs” O Prereq is Alg 2

6. Statistics / AP Statistics O Type of class – O Not similar to other math classes you have taken, a lot of reading, writing, and analysis of data (compared to other math classes) O What will it prepare you for – O Regular stats will prepare you to do well in college stat classes. O AP Stats will prepare you for the AP exam which, with a high enough score, could place you out of college Stats

7. Algebra 3 O This course is for seniors only and is designed for those whose average is below 80 in Algebra 2. O It reinforces Algebra 2 material by projects and activities and introduces topics from College Algebra. O This course is listed on transcripts as Independent Study in Mathematics.

8. What classes will be required in college if I study….. O Depends on your major O Almost all majors require at least some math courses (core classes that every student must take) O All typically require a statistics class O Which ones require precal O Any of the Sciences (chem, biology, computer science, environmental science, physics, math) O Business O Engineering
