Mr. Jones

Mr. Jones teaches College Algebra and College Trigonometry.

In class they have just begun to work on solving linear functions. College Trigonometry will begin at the next semester and they will be starting some new material and working on some side projects of GPS and surveying.

While talking to Mr. Jones he made a point of saying, "If someone does well in College Algebra and Trigonometry they will do well on the ACT."

Mr. Tillitson

Mr. T teaches Algebra I, Pre-Algebra, and Earth Science classes this semester.

In Algebra I, we are starting on Mile Marker #2 which is to be able to graph linear equations.  Proficiency is for every student to pass a test on each of the 5 Mile Markers at 90% correct.  We finished Mile Marker #1 early in December.  Mile Marker #1 was to solve algebraic equations with one variable.  I anticipate reaching proficiency on Mile Marker #2 by mid February.

In Pre-Algebra we have completed Mile Marker #1 which was to achieve 90% on a basic computation test with non-negative rational numbers.  We are into our next Mile Marker which is to find perimeter, area, and volume of basic geometric shapes.

Algebra 1: In the Algebra 1 classes we include concepts of fractions, multiplying positive and negative integers, mental math, word problems, factoring, solve area,volume,and perimeter problems.

Algebra 2: This semester will include concepts of equations, inequalities, graphing, uniform motion, solving word problems, polynomials, factoring and exponents.

Algebra 3:This class will focus on ACT and accuplacer preparation, review major components of Algebra II, introduction to statistics, problem solving, and life skills mathematics.  Algebra III will focus on individual needs to strengthen skills and provide students confidence in mathematics.

Calculus I: Introduces single variable calculus and analytical geometry. Includes limits, continuity, derivatives, and applications of derivatives as well as indefinite and definite integrals and some applications.

Calculus II: This class will include calculus, which will include techniques of integration, polar coordinates, analytical geometry, improper integrals, and infinite series.

Algebra 2: This semester will include concepts of equations, inequalities, graphing, uniform motion, solving word problems, polynomials, factoring and exponents.

In every math class we are also doing Mile Markers. They help the students know what they must learn and know before moving on to more difficult subjects.

MATH ROCKS!!
