MATHEMATICS

TNHS Mathematics Pathway

ALGEBRA I

This course is designed so the students attain all the concepts contained in the relevant statements in the Kentucky Core Academic Standards in order to earn the high school graduation credit for Algebra 1. 

*Course required for graduation. 

1 Credit, Grade 9

PRE-AP ALGEBRA I

This Algebra I course will cover the same standards as Algebra I but at more rigorous level and accelerated pace by providing extensions and enrichment.  *This course may be taken in place of Algebra I as the graduation requirement. 

1 Credit, Grade 9

GEOMETRY

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement, properties, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. This course is designed so the students can develop skills and concepts from the relevant statements in the Kentucky Core Academic Standards for Mathematics in order to earn the high school graduation credit for Geometry.  

*Course required for graduation. 

PREREQUISITE: Algebra I

1 Credit, Grades 9-10

PRE-AP GEOMETRY

This course will cover the same standards as Geometry but at a more rigorous level and accelerated pace by providing extensions and enrichment.  

*This course may be taken in place of Geometry as the graduation requirement. 

PREREQUISITE: Algebra I

1 Credit, Grades 9-10

ALGEBRA II

This course is designed so the students develop the relevant skills and concepts from the Kentucky Core Academic Standards beyond Algebra 1 and Geometry and then builds on those skills and concepts in a rigorous manner. 

PREREQUISITE: Algebra I & Geometry

1 Credit, Grades 9-12

PRE-AP ALGEBRA II

This course will cover the same standards as Algebra II but at a more rigorous level and accelerated pace by providing extensions and enrichment. 

PREREQUISITE: Algebra I & Geometry

1 Credit, Grades 9-12

ALGEBRA III

This course is designed for students who are intending to attend college and are in need of additional preparation in order to be successful in credit-bearing College Algebra, or for students who feel in need of additional preparation to take College Algebra. The content goes beyond a traditional Algebra 2 course. 

PREREQUISITE: Algebra II

1 Credit, Grades 10-12

AP PRE-CALCULUS

This course is designed for students to attain the concepts necessary to be successful in a Calculus course, an AP Calculus course or a College Calculus course.  Students will review the necessary Algebra content for success and will learn the necessary trigonometric concepts for success in Calculus. 

PREREQUISITE: Algebra II

1 Credit, Grades 10-12

AP CALCULUS AB

AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP course covers topics in these areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The course teaches students to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and to make connections amongst these representations.

PREREQUISITE: Pre-Calculus

1 Credit, Grades 11-12

AP CALCULUS BC

AP Calculus BC is roughly equivalent to both first and second semester college calculus courses and extends the content learned in AB to different types of equations and introduces the topic of sequences and series. The AP course covers topics in differential and integral calculus, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and series. The course teaches students to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and to make connections amongst these representations. Students learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions.  Prerequisite: AP Calculus AB 

PREREQUISITE: AP Calculus AB

1 Credit, Grades 11-12

TECHNICAL MATH I

Some mathematical concepts from Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry and applications relevant to these topics are studied. Topics to be covered include unit conversions, variation, measurement of geometric figures, and solving right and oblique triangles using trigonometry. Emphasis is on applications in the various technologies. This course will be geared towards students who will enter the workforce or attend a technical school.

PREREQUISITE: Algebra 1 and Geometry 

1 Credit, Grades 11-12

DUAL CREDIT COLLEGE ALGEBRA

This class is taught in conjunction with ECTC and follows a curriculum that includes operations on rational expressions, radicals, functions,, and complex numbers, set theory, solving and graphing various functions and analysis of their graphs, systems of equations and difference quotient.  Student must have a qualifying ACT Math score of 22 or higher to enroll.

PREREQUISITE: Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2

1 Credit, Grades 10-12

TECHNICAL MATH II

The prerequisites for this course is Tech Math 1.  This course will be a continuation of the content from Tech Math 1.  This course will be geared towards students who will enter the workforce or attend a technical school. Emphasis will be on applications and other various technologies.  

PREREQUISITE: Technical Math I

1 Credit, Grades 12

PERSONAL FINANCE

This course helps students to become financially responsible, conscientious members of society.  Students will develop understanding and skills in the money management, budgeting, financial goal attainment, credit, insurance, investments, and consumer rights and responsibilities. Leadership development will be provided through FBLA and/or DECA. 

Beginning in 2023-2024 students will have had to have taken or been enrolled in two (2) business courses for personal finance to count towards a math credit.


1 Credit, Grades 9-12
