Algebra 1 Course # 2201, 2202

Full Year: Credit: 1

This is a one-year course designed to teach the fundamentals of elementary algebra. This course lays the foundation of

knowledge and skills to meet the Nevada Academic Content Standards in Mathematics (NVACS) for high school students.

A strong foundation in algebra is needed for subsequent mathematics courses. The NVACS studied include all 5 Domains:

Relationships between Quantities and Reasoning with Equations, Linear and Exponential Relationships, Descriptive

Statistics, Expressions and Equations and Quadratic Functions and Modeling. Throughout the year, students will be

expected to develop the ability to reason and communicate mathematically, apply learned concepts to new problem-

solving situations and exhibit increased confidence in their ability to solve mathematical problems.

Geometry Course # 2211, 2212

Full Year: Credit: 1

Pre-requisite: Successful completion of all semesters of Algebra 1 (or all semesters of the 2-year

course).

This is a one-year course that will cover the following topics through emphasis on basic geometric proofs, axioms,

postulates and theorems, plane geometric figures, right triangles with trigonometry, constructions, congruence and

similarity, circles, coordinate and transformational geometry, inductive and deductive reasoning, three-dimensional

geometry, and probability. Emphasis is on the development of deductive reasoning skills. Students will also review

algebraic techniques, work on realistic problems, and use technology when possible.

Scientific calculators are recommended.
