Math 

• Students must successfully complete a minimum of 6 credits of math as well as pass one Regents Exam to graduate with a Regents Diploma.  
• Passing Geometry and Algebra II Regents, in addition to Algebra I, is needed for an Advanced Regents Diploma.
• A special mathematics designation is awarded to students who pass all three high school math courses and receive a minimum of 85 on all three math regents.  
• CUNY proficiency standards require a 70+ on at least 1 math Regents) 

Algebra (MEN11, MEN22)  Course fulfillment:  This course satisfies two NYS Math credits towards graduation.

Algebra topics include a study of functions (linear, quadratic, absolute value and exponential), coordinate geometry, systems of equations, right triangle trigonometry, elementary probability theory and introductory statistics.  Use of the TI-84 graphing calculator is integrated within the instruction.  This course culminates in the NYS Algebra 1 Regents Exam. Passing one state examination in mathematics is a NYS graduation requirement.

Geometry (MGN11, MGN11Q9,  MGN22) Eligibility:  successfully completed Algebra I                        

Course fulfillment:  This course satisfies two NYS Math credits towards graduation.

Geometry is a mathematical system that allows students to use deductive reasoning to form relationships relating to both abstract mathematical ideas and real-world scenarios. This course gives students the chance to act as mathematicians and argue conclusions developed by the fathers of mathematics. Critical thinking is essential in Geometry, and students will be given the opportunity to develop and expand this skill. The following topics will be covered: logical reasoning and formal proofs; properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles; triangle similarity/congruence and right triangle relationships; analysis of area and volume; properties of two and three-dimensional geometric figures and solids; and geometric constructions and transformations. Passing this exam is a NYS graduation requirement for a NYS Advanced Regents Diploma.

Algebra II & Trigonometry (MRN11, MRN11Q10, MRN22)   Eligibility:  successfully completed Geometry Course fulfillment:  This course satisfies two NYS Math credits towards graduation.

The Algebra II and Trigonometry discipline complements and expands the mathematical content and concepts of Algebra I and Geometry. It emphasizes finding solutions for and graphing, polynomial functions, inequalities, systems of equations, exponential and logarithmic functions, rational functions, and trigonometric functions. We will also explore the complex number system and trigonometric relationships.  It is a one-year course that terminates in a NYS regents exam.  Passing this exam is a requirement for a NYS Advanced Regents Diploma.

Pre-Calculus (MPN11) Eligibility:  successfully completed Algebra II & Trigonometry

Course fulfillment:  This course satisfies two NYS Math elective credits towards graduation.

Pre-Calculus is an extension of Algebra II and Trigonometry Regents course, with the emphasis in Trigonometry, Limits, and introductory calculus topics.  All major areas covered in Algebra II are reinforced at a greater depth with additional applications aided by the use of calculators and computers. The course is designed to include all those topics necessary to be successful in a college calculus course. This course is offered to students that have taken and passed three years of high school mathematics.

High School Calculus (MCN11)

Eligibility:  successfully completion of pre-calculus                                                                

Course fulfillment:  This course satisfies two NYS Math credits towards graduation.

High School Calculus is the non-AP version of calculus. This course is a study of many of the same topics as AP calculus; Limits and Continuity, Differentiation, Application of Differentiation, Integration, & Application of Integration, although students will not take the AP exam at the end of the course in May. This course affords students the opportunity to learn the materials at a less-pressured pace.  Successful completion of the course will lay a strong foundation for further study in calculus at college level. This course is offered to students that have completed three years of high school mathematics.

AP Calculus AB (MCN11X) & BC (MCN22X) Eligibility:  successfully completion of pre-calculus

Course fulfillment:  This course satisfies two NYS Math elective credits towards graduation.

In AP Calculus, students will acquire and apply various techniques in differential and integral calculus. Emphasis is placed on the application of those techniques in problem solving. This course requires a strong foundation in algebra and ends in taking the rigorous and comprehensive College Board AP Calculus AB or BC exam.

TEALS Introduction to Computer Science (MKN11) Eligibility:  Course fulfillment:  This course satisfies two NYS Math elective credits towards graduation.

Introduction to Computer Science is an elective math course designed for high school students to gain an understanding of basic computer programming, otherwise known as coding. The course introduces students to SNAP, a visual coding program, and Python. Students will develop an understanding of the fundamental ideas, concepts, and application of coding. Students will learn the technology to explore relationships, write code that results in working programs, and especially learn valuable problem-solving skills.
