GEHRHSD Curriculum Guide 2026-27

This accelerated course focuses on an in-depth study of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, along with data analysis and real-world applications. Students develop problem-solving and reasoning skills through modeling, interpreting graphs, and analyzing patterns. Emphasis is placed on building a strong foundation for future math courses, including Geometry and Algebra II HONORS ALGEBRA I Prerequisite: Acceptance into this course for 9th graders will be based on multiple measures including a review of science and math grades and teacher recommendations. Grades 9-12, 5 Credits This course is an extension of the Algebra I curriculum. Topics that were first introduced in Algebra I will be built upon and applied to problems that require higher order thinking skills. Additional topics will be introduced in a variety of methods, including self-discovery activities, group projects and presentations, and teacher led class discussions. Algebra II/Trigometry builds a foundation of mathematics for those students going onto Pre Calculas. Students will explore topics such as functions, equations and inequalities, probability, statistics, logarithmic and exponential relationships, quadratic and polynomial equations, trigonometric functions and matrices. ALGEBRA II/TRIGONOMETRY Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation and/or an 90 in Geometry Grades 9-12, 5 Credits This course will build upon concepts learned in Algebra I and Geometry. Topics that were first introduced in Algebra I will be built upon and applied to problems that require higher order of thinking skills. Algebra II/Trigonometry provides a strong foundation for students preparing for Pre-Calculus. Students will explore functions, equations and inequalities, probability and statistics, logarithmic and exponential relationships, quadratic and polynomial equations, trigonometric functions, and matrices. Prerequisite: Geometry ALGEBRA II Grades 10-12, 5 Credits
