HONORS ALGEBRA II - 1145
1 Year = 1 Credit
PR
Grade Level: 10-12
This course is third in the college-preparatory mathematics sequence and is designed for
mathematically talented students to study mathematics topics with a focus on advanced
algebra and trigonometry. This course is an enhanced version of the Algebra II course,
which will allow students to study the mathematical topics in more depth. The use of
technology is an important feature of the course. Students who achieve a B or higher in
this course may enroll in College Algebra or Pre-Calculus. Those not achieving at least a B
will need to enroll in Algebra III. Students will EOC test if they have not previously taken
a math EOC test in high school. NCAA Approved Course
Prerequisites:Teacher Recommendation
DC ALGEBRAIC REASONING - 1155D
1 Year = 1 Credit
PR DC
Grade Level: 11-12
Optional College Est Fee: $210
Algebraic Reasoning and Modeling is designed to provide students with experience in
using technology, algebraic functions, statistics, and reasoning within the context of real
world problems that include social science and business applications. Students may take
the class for college credit as a dual credit course - it meets the Quantitative Literacy
Goal within the Foundations Areas requirement of MSU’s General Education Program. All
students enrolled will take the university mid-term and final. No final exemptions
allowed. (The student’s college transcript will state Algebraic Reasoning and Modeling as
the course completed.) Dual credit will go toward MTH 134 at Missouri State University
(MOTR: MTH 120 - for any other Missouri public institution of higher education). NCAA
Approved Course
Prerequisites: Full year credit in Algebra II
DC COLLEGE ALGEBRA - 1196
1 Year = 1 Credit
PR DC
Grade Level: 11-12
Optional College Est Fee: $210
This course will be more rigorous than its prerequisites. Algebra skills will be reviewed
and strengthened. Other topics taught will include functions such as polynomial,
exponential, rational, and logarithms along with their graphs, systems of equations and
inequalities, sequences, series, linear programming, conic sections, complex roots or
polynomials, matrices, and decomposition of functions. Students may take the class for
college credit as a dual credit course, however all students enrolled will take the
university mid-term and final. No finals exemptions allowed. (The student’s college
transcript will state Pre-Calculus I as the course completed.) Dual credit will go toward
MTH 136 at Missouri State University. NCAA Approved Course
Prerequisites: B or better in Algebra II. For dual credit in this course, students must have scored
at least a 22 on the math portion of the ACT or pass the placement test provided by the
university for dual credit.
