Phoenix Academy Math

Beginning Algebra

• This course is designed to give students an introduction to basic Algebra concepts and skills.  Students will be introduced to variables, function patterns, graphs, rational numbers and the property of numbers.  By the end of the course, students will use their skills to solve multi-step equations and inequalities, relate graphs to events and functions, and apply linear equations and graphs to real life situations.

Math 100

• This course is designed to provide students with additional development of basic arithmetic and computation skills that will be used in “real life” situations.  Instruction will be delivered using a variety of activities and projects.  Students will learn about basic operations, number awareness, fractions, decimals, percents.  Additional topics include statistics (mean, median and mode), probability, and variable awareness.  Students will participate in learning projects as they learn about checking accounts, travel, taxes and making basic purchases.

Geometry Survey

• This course is designed to give students an introduction to the basic geometry concepts, using problem solving through inductive and deductive reasoning, but with little emphasis on formal proofs. The course includes topics such as distance concepts, angles, triangles, geometric inequalities, parallel and perpendicular lines and planes, polygons, circles and spatial figures and their properties. Right triangle trigonometry is also introduced.
