ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION Students will participate in an adaptive physical education class. Adaptive PE is offered to students who cannot participate in the regular physical education program. Instruction is adapted to meet the individual needs of the students. Grades 9-12, 5 Credits APPLICATIONS OF ALGEBRA This is a basic skills course with an emphasis placed on functional applications of acquired algebraic knowledge. Students will develop, analyze, and explain methods for solving problems involving proportions, ratios, evaluative expressions, and graphing. Basic math skills are reinforced by interpreting symbols of algebra and solving problems encountered in activities of daily living. Grades 9, 5 Credits APPLICATIONS OF GEOMETRY This is a basic skills course with an emphasis placed on functional applications of acquired geometric knowledge. Students will develop an understanding of skills such as the use of angles and geometrical figures, develop and analyze methods and formulas for problem solving, and identify examples of point, line segment and angle in the design of objects and materials found in places of daily living. Students will use this knowledge to apply the principles of symmetry, transformation, and spatial reasoning to real world situations. Grade 10, 5 Credits APPLICATIONS OF ALGEBRA II This is a basic skills course designed to build on acquired algebraic and geometric knowledge. Students will further explore numbers, polynomials, equations and inequalities, sequences and series, probability and statistics. Students will also learn types of functions and how to solve them. An emphasis is placed on functional applications of the concepts through real world problem solving. Grade 11, 5 Credits FINANCIAL LITERACY This course is designed to alert, inform, and educate students in concepts of personal finance. Real world topics include income, money management, spending and credit, saving and investing, insurance, taxes, and consumer rights. Grade 12, 5 Credits
