Advanced Algebra at North Mason is the third course in a 4-course sequence. Students transferring from another school must have successfully completed one full year of algebra and one full year of geometry with at least a "B" average. Advanced Algebra A covers: explicit and recursive sequence formulas - direct and inverse variation - graphing linear and nonlinear functions - systems, matrix operations including transformations and rotations in two dimensions, extensive study of the parabola and quadratic functions and function theory. The course ends with n'th roots, rational exponents and powers.

ADVANCED ALGEBRA B
PREREQUISITE: Advanced Algebra A with at least a grade of B- or instructor approval. Transfer students from other schools must have successfully completed two full years of algebra and one full year of geometry.
FULFILLS: Math graduation requirement
GRADE LEVELS: 11-12

This course begins with the study of exponential and logarithmic functions. An introduction of basic trigonometry is followed by advanced work with general polynomials. Finding roots of higher order functions are also covered. The course ends with advanced work with conic equations, sequences, series using summation notation and the binomial theorem.

MATH WASL SKILLS
PREERQUISITE:You need to have taken the EASL at least once before.
GRADE LEVELS:12

Students will learn the Math skills needed to pass the WASL on a retake. Students will have the opportunity to learn Math skills through application. Students will be able to build a collection of evidence that may be used as an alternative to passing the WASL test. This course is an expanded version of the summer school Math WASL skills course as provided byt he office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruciton (OSPI). This course is limited to students who did not meet the WASL benchmark in Math on their first attempt, or on a summer retake opportunity. This is one term course for credit.

PRE- CALCULUS/TRIG
PREREQUISITE: Statistics with at least a grade of B- or instructor approval
FULFILLS: Math graduation requirement
GRADE LEVELS: 12

This is a pre-calculus course designed to prepare students for college or Advanced Placement Calculus. The course will cover functions (power, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic), transformations, matrices, quadratic relation, conic sections, polar coordinates, sequences, series, and combinations. The trigonometry will cover identities, Law of Cosines, Law of Sines, circular functions and inverse trig functions.

STATISTICS
PREREQUISITE: Advanced Algebra B with at least a grade of B- or instructor approval
FULFILLS: Math graduation requirement
GRADE LEVELS 11 & 12

This course is designed to prepare students for a beginning college statistics course or Advanced Placement Statistics. The course will cover statistical data analysis, probability, measures of central tendency, z- tables for large sample theory, t-tables for small sample theory, and hypothesis testing.
