Honors, Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment
Honors courses are available in Geometry and Algebra II. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered in Pre-Calculus, Calculus AB, Calculus BC and Statistics.
Concurrent enrollment college credit through Arapahoe Community College is offered for Math for Liberal Arts (MAT 1240), College Algebra (MAT 1340), Introduction to Statistics (MAT 1260) and, during the second semester, AP Statistics (MAT 1260).
Students who complete AP Calculus BC can take Calculus III (MAT 2431) and Differential Equations Honors (MAT 2561) through Red Rocks Community College.
Graphic Calculator Requirements
A TI-Nspire CX II graphing calculator (non-CAS) is required for the following math courses: Honors Algebra 2, AP Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, Calculus 3, Differential Equations, AP Statistics, Intro to Statistics, College Algebra, and Math for Liberal Arts. DO NOT purchase a CAS "Computer Algebra System" version of the TI-Nspire, as it is no longer allowed to use on the SAT.
A TI-Nspire CX II graphing calculator (non-CAS) is recommended for Algebra 2, but it is NOT required. A student in Algebra 2 should especially consider using one if they plan to continue taking math courses after Algebra 2.
For all other math courses, a scientific calculator, such as the TI-30X IIS model, is recommended.
These calculators may be purchased online or at many local stores and discount warehouses. Students who wish to rent a graphing calculator should talk to their math teacher on the first day of class. Students are encouraged to engrave their name on their calculator. Please see Ms. Brusven if you need access to an engraver.
Mathematics in Jeffco
Jeffco mathematics embraces a problem-based approach, grounded in the belief that every student possesses the potential to master grade-level mathematics. In our program, students learn math by doing math.
Teachers invite all students to contribute to mathematical learning, center student thinking, and respond as students develop conceptual understanding and essential mathematical skills.
