AP Calculus (PACE) is equivalent to first and second semester college calculus courses and includes the study of limits, derivatives, integrals, and series. This course will prepare students to take the AP Calculus BC exam for possible college credit. Students in this course may register for dual credit through Southeast Community College or Nebraska Wesleyan
This course covers the topics of first-semester, college Calculus and also includes a review of Pre-Calculus. Students will learn the concepts, rules, and applications of limits, derivatives and integrals. Students may choose to take the AP Calculus AB exam or check with their college regarding the potential to start in the second semester of college
Advanced Math is offered to seniors who would like an additional year of math following Algebra II or Algebra II Fundamentals. The course reviews concepts from Algebra II and progress into trigonometry, statistics, probability, logic, discrete math, matrices, and consumer math. Daily homework should be expected.
Pre-Calculus is the study of trigonometric, linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and rational functions and provides the fundamentals for Calculus. Conic sections, right and non-right triangle trigonometry, and exponential growth/decay are also studied. Graphing calculators are a tool to help analyze functions in the course. This course is recommended for students who plan to major
Students in the first semester of this course will study right-triangle trigonometry, progress into non-right triangle trigonometry, and then cover the unit circle as well as all of the properties, identities, graphs and applications of the six trigonometric functions. The second semester of the course will be an introduction to statistics, data collection, and data
This course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data with the goal of understanding the fundamental concepts of statistics. Practical applications are emphasized. Students will design, conduct, and report on their own studies. The AP Statistics exam will be offered in May. Daily homework should be
Differentiated Algebra II offers an in-depth continuation of the traditional first year algebra course and progresses into the study or functions, complex numbers, polynomials, radicals, exponentials, logarithms, sequences, series, and matrices. With permission, sophomores may take Differentiated Algebra II concurrently with Differentiated Geometry. Differentiated Algebra II is strongly recommended for college-bound students. Daily homework should
Algebra II is designed for students who successfully completed Geometry or Differentiated Geometry and need more practice in their Algebra skills. Algebra II offers a continuation of the traditional first year algebra course and progresses into the study or functions, complex numbers, polynomials, radicals, exponentials, and logarithms. Daily homework should be expected.
Differentiated Geometry is concerned about “how” and “why” you arrive at answers to problems, along with “what” the answer is. This step-by-step thinking process is applicable to the problem solving and in depth thinking processes required in everyday applications. This more rigorous course includes constructions and proofs as well as the study of the properties
Geometry is a course designed for students who successfully completed Algebra I or for those students who struggled in Differentiated Algebra I. The goal of Geometry is to offer students essential Geometry content and introduce the step-by-step thinking process. Geometry includes constructions and proofs as well as the study of the properties of circles, triangles,
The goal of Differentiated Algebra I is to offer traditional algebra content as a foundation for advanced math courses. It will provide students with a more rigorous transition from the concrete elementary mathematics to the abstract thinking of algebra and will engage students in problem-solving strategies at a deeper level. Differentiated Algebra I will enable
The goal of Algebra I is to offer students traditional algebra content. It will provide students with a transition from the concrete elementary mathematics to the abstract thinking of algebra and will engage students in practice and problem-solving strategies. Algebra I will expose students to factoring, rational and polynomial expressions, operations with radicals, solving linear
Algebra Essentials is designed to be taken along with Algebra I. It will cover basic skills required to be successful in all high school math courses, along with providing extra practice of skills learned in Algebra I. Topics covered will include fractions, operations with integers, simplifying algebraic expressions, solving basic equations and inequalities, graphing, decimals,
If this course is successfully completed during the 11th or 12th grade, it may satisfy 5 credits of English electives.
Students in the Yearbook class will be responsible for putting together the yearbook for Pius. Work will include creating a visual and written record that reflects the nature of our school. Students will design individual pages and will be required to attend extra-curricular events to take photographs. The course requires students to be self-motivated and
