EOC exam and benchmarks to pass the class)
This is a first year in which students will learn to reason
symbolically. The course is based on the Common Core State
Standards for Mathematics and is a key course for success on the
California High School Exit Exam. The key content includes
writing, solving, and graphing linear functions and inequalities,
including systems of two linear equations in two unknowns. Other
key content includes writing, solving, and graphing exponential
equations. Additionally, students will model real-life scenarios
from a data set and apply it to course content by summarizing,
representing and interpreting the data. This course also
establishes criteria for congruence based on rigid motion.

(a-g) / Graduation Requirement
10 Credits
Grade Level: 9 – 12
Grade Restrictions: None
Prerequisites: Pass Integrated Math I with a “C” or better
(Satisfies the Integrated Math II Graduation Requirement)
This course expands on laws of exponents to rational exponents.
Students will compare key characteristics of quadratic functions
with those of linear and exponential functions. These topics
extend to creating and solving equations and inequalities
involving linear, exponential, and quadratic expressions. Work
with probability is expanded. Criteria for similar triangles
based on dilations and proportional reasoning is established.
Geometric proof is introduced and done in a bevy of ways. The
proofs extend to trigonometry and its application. Additional
topics include imaginary numbers, solid geometry and
circle/parabola conic sections.

Prerequisites: Pass Integrated Math I with an “A” or “B” /
Teacher Recommendation Required
(Satisfies the Integrated Math II Graduation Requirement)
This advanced course covers the same topics as delineated in MATH
II with the addition of Vectors, the Fundamental Theorem of
Algebra, Polynomials identities involving complex numbers, and a
few more topics.
MATH III
MIS301-MIS302
(a-g) / Graduation Requirement
10 Credits
Grade Level: 9 – 12
Grade Restrictions: None
Prerequisites: Pass Math II or Math II Plus with “C” or
better
This course builds knowledge and facility in advanced relations &
functions, systems of equations, complex numbers, exponential
functions, and logarithmic functions. Problems involving
application of functions to predicting values of related
real-world variables are used to tie many mathematical techniques
together into single problems
MATH III PLUS
MIS303-MIS304
(a-g) / Graduation Requirement
10 Credits
Grade Level: 9 – 12
Grade Restrictions: None
Prerequisites: Pass Math II Plus with a “C” or better / Math II
with an “A” / Teacher Recommendation Required
This course covers, in depth, all topics listed under Math III
with supplementation in the subject of intermediate trigonometry,
including the hand computation of trigonometric values at
standard points, graphs and properties of trigonometric functions
and their inverses. It will meet the needs of students who seek
the depth and acceleration of higher math, who anticipate college
enrollment in a math related field.
EAP SENIOR YEAR MATH
MHS101/MHS102
Elective
10 Credits
Grade Level: 12
Grade Level Restrictions: 12th grade only
Prerequisites: Teacher Recommendation / Scored Conditionally
ready on the SBAC or received a low “B” or “C” grade in Math
III
This course is designed for college-prep students who do not
anticipate needing calculus in their college studies and to meet
the needs of college entrance exams. Students will develop
proficiency in the fundamentals of college-level algebra,
geometric interpretations of functions, inverse functions, linear
and quadratic inequalities, rational functions, and matrices.
Probability, statistics and applications to business will be
stressed.
PRE-CALCULUS
MPS010-MPS011
(a-g) / Graduation Requirement
10 Credits
Grade Level: 9 – 12
Grade Restrictions: None
Prerequisites: Pass Math III with an “C” or better
This is a 1 year-long calculus preparation course emphasizing
mathematical thinking, the use of mathematical models, and the
understanding of mathematical functions and their graphs. This
course is about algebraic and geometric concepts that are
important for calculus success. Students are expected to master
the algebraic and trigonometric methods and problem solving
skills necessary to solve lengthy, multi-step problems, involving
a variety of pre-calculus mathematical concepts.
AP STATISTICS
MSS270-MSS271
(a-g) / Graduation Requirement
10 Credits
Grade Level: 9 – 12
Grade Restrictions: None
Prerequisites: Pass Math III with a “C” or better
The Advanced Placement Program offers a course description and
examination in statistics to secondary school students who wish
to college course in statistics. This course includes the use of
technology including daily use of graphing calculators, projects
and laboratories, complete studies equivalent to a one-semester,
introductory, non-calculus-based, cooperative group
problem-solving, and writing, which will allow students to build
interdisciplinary connections with other subjects and with their
world outside school.
AP CALCULUS AB
MCS201-MCS202
(a-g) / Graduation Requirement
10 Credits
Grade Level: 9 – 12
Grade Restrictions: None
Prerequisites: Pass Pre-Calculus or Advanced Pre-Calculus with a
“C” or better / Pass Math III Plus with a “B” or better
AP Calculus AB is a college level calculus in the study of the
Calculus of functions of a single variable. The three main
concepts in calculus are limits of a function, differentiation,
and integration. Both Calculus AB and Calculus BC cover these
three main concepts, except that in Calculus AB the focus is on
elementary functions and the basic methods of integration.
Students are expected to master the basics of Calculus with and
without a graphing calculator.
AP CALCULUS BC
MCS303-MCS304
(a-g) / Graduation Requirement
10 Credits
Grade Level: 9 – 12
Grade Restrictions: None
Prerequisites: Pass AP Calculus AB with a “B” or better and Pass
Pre-Calculus with an “A” or better
AP Calculus BC is a college level calculus in the study of the
calculus of functions of a single variable. The three main
concepts in calculus are limits of a function, differentiation,
and integration. Both Calculus AB and Calculus BC cover these
three main concepts, except that in Calculus BC, several
non-elementary functions will be studied using the
differentiation and integration processes. And additional
techniques in integration will be studied as well.
