Course Name Course Length Credits Course Intro
Pre-Algebra Full Year 5

The study of pre-algebra assumes a student's knowledge of basic mathematical concepts and skills developed during the grades kindergarten through grade eight.  The course of Pre-Algebra is specifically designed to address the needs of students who have recently entered the public school system from a non-English speaking background.

Impact Math I Half Year  2.5 Tests the students knowledge of basic math and its applications
Impact Math II Half Year  2.5 Tests the students knowledge of basic math and its applications on a more advanced level.
Algebra IA Full Year 5

Algebra is the language through which most of mathematics is communicated and, therefore, is a fundamental lifetime skill. Since the emphasis is on problem solving, this is integrated throughout all areas addressed in this course.

Algebra IB Full Year 5

After completing the prerequisite course, Algebra IA, the students will continue developing skills that concentrate on problem solving which may utilize the most appropriate- technology, including computers and calculators.

Algebra IIA Full Year 5

AlgebraIIA is the course of Algebra II broken up into 2 years. It is designed to develop skills that concentrate on problem solving.

AlgebraIIB Full Year 5 After completing the prerequisite course, AlgebraIIA, the students continue developing their problem solving skills in Algebra.
Algebra I Full Year 5

Algebra is the language through which most of mathematics is communicated and therefore is a fundamental lifetime skill.  In addition, emphasis is placed on development of deductive reasoning and is highly dependent upon communication skills, which are necessary for the student to be prepared for the next level of mathematics. More rigourous then Algebra1A and Algebra1B

Algebra II Full Year 5

Algebra is the language through which most of mathematics is communicated and, therefore, is a fundamental life skill. Since the emphasis is on problem solving, we integrate this in each of the areas that are covered throughout this course.

Algebra II&Trig Full Year 5

Algebra and Trigonometry will address the same topics as those introduced in Algebra II in a more rigorous manner. Additionally, topics of trigonometry will be included. The basic Algebra II topics will be expanded to prepare students for the study of calculus.

Basic Geom. Full Year 5

Geometry combines both learning about the physical geometric shapes around us and developing in the student a system for improving the thought process. Skills are fostered in deductive reasoning, construction of proofs. visual and pictorial representations. and application of geometric ideas to describe and answer questions about natural. physical and social phenomena. Students enrolled in geometry must have completed a first year algebra course.

Pl. Geom. Full Year 5

Broadens the scope of what is learned in basic geometry in a more rigourous manner.Students enrolled in geometry must have completed a first year algebra course.

Pl. & Sol. Geom. Full Year 5 Broadens the scope of other geometry courses to also cover an understanding of sold 3-dimensional figures.
Adv. Math H.(11) Full Year 5 The purpose and goals of the Advanced Math Honors course is to encourage students to appreciate mathematics as a logical science, while providing them with the tools necessary for a foundation for the study of calculus, or any higher-level math course.
Calculus Full Year 5

The study of calculus represents the culmination of high school mathematics. It calls upon the skills and information acquired in previous years and applies them to problems that are inherently more interesting and complicated than most previously encountered by the student of mathematics. The study of calculus is significance to students who are prospective mathematics majors, engineering students or students of physical or social sciences.

Calculus (AP) Full Year 5

Same basic fundamentals as Calculus, however the rigor with which material is presented and developed throughout the course is appropriate to the student who has a exceptional interest in the study of mathematics and is significantly above average in ability and motivation in the area of mathematics.

Adv. Math Full Year 5

The purpose and goals of the Advanced Math course is to encourage students to appreciate mathematics as a logical science, while providing them with the tools necessary for a foundation for the study of calculus, or any higher-level math course.  The core topics relate to trigonometry, transcendental functions, and function analysis. 

Computer Science AP Full Year 5

The major emphasis in Advanced Placement Computer Science is on programming methodology, and procedural abstraction. Applications of computing provide the context in which these subjects are treated; applications are used to develop student awareness of the need for particular algorithms and data structures as well as to provide topics for programming assignments towards which the students can apply their knowledge.

Math Skills (9/10/11) Full Year  2.5

Math Skills is a course for students who have not made satisfactory progress towards passing the New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) in mathematics. Students enrolled in grades 9, 10 and 11 use this time to work on skills relevant to the HSPA administration in the spring.

Math Skills (12) Full Year 2.5 Mathematical Problem Solving is a course for students who have not made satisfactory progress towards passing the New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) in mathematics. Students enrolled in this course during their senior year use this time to work on their Special Review Assessment (SRA) while reviewing for the next administration of the HSPA. Students who successfully pass the mathematics portion of the HSPA are permitted to drop this course at the start of the second semester.
Computer Science Full Year 5

Is a beginning course designed for the student who is genuinely interested in computer programming. The students will become familiar with Windows OS and the BASIC programming language with the focus of the course centering around the concepts of software design, the use of the computer in problem solving and the ability to write and understand computer algorithms.
