Basic Math Skills-UBSCT 5199 (M) 10-12 .5
This course is designed for students whose mathematics skills are below grade level. This course will develop sufficiency in math skills
and assist in preparing students to master the Utah State Core as demonstrated by passing the Utah Basic Skills Competency Test.
Algebra 1 (Elem. Algebra) 5110 (M) 10-12
1.0
Prerequisite: Mastery of Pre-Algebra
This course will teach algebra as a style of thinking for formalizing patterns, functions, and generalizations. In this course, students will
expand previously learned quantitative rational number relationships to include the irrational numbers. The focus will be on proficiency
in recognizing and working effectively with linear relationships and their corresponding representations in tables, graphs, and
equations; such proficiency includes competence in solving linear equations, generating equivalent expressions, using formulas, and
applying proportionality. To develop proficiency in symbolic and graphical representations, students will use physical models, visual
models, and technology. While mathematical skills will be developed, teaching will focus on understanding the concepts in-depth,
enabling students to apply mathematical skills and make meaningful connections to life’s experiences.

Geometry 5120 (M) 10-12 1.0
Prerequisite: Mastery of Algebra 1
Students in Geometry study Euclid’s postulates and theorems as the basis for an axiomatic system. Students will explore geometry
through inductive and deductive processes, technology, constructions, manipulatives, and algebraic connections. Topics of
investigation include logic, angle and line relationships, triangles and other polygons, congruence, and similarity. Students also study
coordinate geometry. Trigonometric ratios of sine, cosine, and tangent are used to solve triangle problems. Students will use area,
volume, geometric probability, and geometric relationships to solve real-life problems. While mathematical skills will be developed,
teaching will focus on the understanding of concepts in-depth, enabling students to apply mathematical skills and make meaningful
connections to life’s experiences.

Quantitative Analysis 5125 (M) 10-12 1.0
This course is designed to help students gain an in-depth understanding of beginning algebra and geometry by engaging in problem
solving with practical application problems that help students see their interrelatedness to arithmetic. Students will work in groups on
projects and develop their abilities to calculate percents and proportions, perform unit conversions, solve equations, use formulas, and
use calculators and other technology.

Algebra 2 (Intermediate Algebra) 5111 (M) 10-12
1.0
Prerequisite: Mastery of Algebra 1 and Geometry or Applied Mathematics 2
This course will build upon the knowledge previously learned in Elementary Algebra and Geometry. It will provide students with the
reasoning skills necessary for many careers and the mathematical tools they will need to be successful in advanced mathematics
classes. The study of functions is the primary focus of Intermediate Algebra. Exploring functions, investigating their behaviors, and
making and verifying reasonable conjectures about those behaviors will develop students’ reasoning and thinking skills. To develop
these important skills, students will study functions algebraically by traditional methods, as well as numerically and graphically using
technology and manipulatives. Types of functions receiving a major focus in the course will be quadratic, absolute value, radical, and
sine and cosine. The course will also emphasize the concepts of complex numbers, matrices, systems of equations and inequalities,
and probability using permutations and combinations. While mathematical skills will be developed, teaching will focus on
understanding of the concepts in-depth, enabling students to apply mathematical skills and make meaningful connections to life
experiences.

College Prep Math 5126 (M) 10-12 1.0
Prerequisite: Teacher approval
Students will acquire the skills needed to be successful in Math 1050 (College Algebra). The focus of the course will be on analysis
and use of functions. Emphasis will be given to collecting data to motivate the development of the analytical model of each function
that will be studied.

Pre-Calculus 5131 (M) 10-12 1.0
Prerequisites: Mastery of Algebra 2 and teacher approval
Pre-calculus prepares students for advanced work in mathematics and serves as the prerequisite for Advanced Placement Calculus
courses. In preparation for this course, students should have mastered linear and quadratic functions and data analysis and probability
techniques. They should also be able to confidently work with expressions containing rational exponents and radical and rational
terms. Areas of study for the course will include exponential, power, polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and piece-wise functions, along
with trigonometric functions and their inverses. Students will investigate and explore mathematical ideas using methods that will help
them gain a deep understanding of fundamental concepts, develop multiple strategies for analyzing complex situations, and acquire
appropriate technological skills. Students will analyze situations verbally, numerically, graphically, and symbolically. Effective
communication skills will be developed so students will be able to discuss, explain, and justify their thoughts and ideas. Teaching will
focus on building a deep understanding of concepts that will enable students to apply mathematical skills and make meaningful
connections to life experiences.
