Integrated Math 1 (IM1) initiates the Upper School math sequence by engaging students in foundational concepts, skills and habits of thought. The course incorporates both algebraic and geometric elements covering concepts such as logic, algebraic modeling, properties of lines and triangles, systems of equations, and properties of polynomials with factoring. Pedagogical techniques and assessments are diverse to allow for multiple ways of learning and demonstrating mathematical knowledge.

This course employs the Earned Honors model. Click here for a full description of the process.

Integrated Math 2 (IM2) continues the Integrated Math sequence by building on the foundational concepts acquired in IM1. Students will encounter thought-provoking problems that require strong connections between algebra and geometry. Topics include applications of systems, behavior of functions, transformations, right triangle trigonometry, and quadratic equations. Each topic requires an added level of sophistication and abstraction as students achieve a higher level of mathematical fluency.

Integrated Math 2 Honors (IM2H) continues the Integrated Math sequence by building on the foundational concepts acquired in IM1. Topics include applications of systems, behavior of functions, transformations, right triangle trigonometry, and quadratic functions. These topics will be covered at an increased level of rigor and depth, requiring students to be independent thinkers who can recognize how to apply existing skills in unfamiliar contexts. This fast-paced course will require a high level of notational fluency and a strong foundation of algebraic and geometric concepts.

Integrated Math 3 (IM3) completes the Integrated Math sequence by building on the concepts and skills acquired in IM2 while incorporating another layer of depth and rigor. The central theme of learning mathematics through problem solving and exploration continues with topics including a study of polynomial, rational, logarithmic and exponential functions as well as circles and unit circle trigonometry. After successfully completing IM3, students have the background to take a variety of math electives.

This course acts as a bridge between Integrated Math 3 and Calculus. Over the course of the Integrated Math sequence, students are introduced to the major function classes and the fundamental concepts of geometry. In this course students will aggregate their knowledge thus far to analyze these functions at a higher level in preparation for calculus. The course emphasizes graphing and transformations of each function type with great attention paid to trigonometric functions, identities, proofs, and equations.

Due to the end-of-year timeline, we will dedicate specific sections of this course to be seniors-only.

This Honors level course begins with a rigorous study of rational functions, at which point the concept of limits is introduced. This fundamental building block of Calculus is incorporated throughout the year as other transcendental function classes are explored, including exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Topics emphasized in preparation for AP Calculus include sequences and series, as well as parametric and polar equations. Students wishing to pursue this course have impeccable algebra skills, strong geometric reasoning through proof, and an interest in solving unfamiliar problems.

Topics in Math is a senior math class dedicated to equipping students with the reasoning skills necessary for success in college. Areas of interest include set theory, numbers and counting principles, simple finance, proportional reasoning, estimation, and select geometric topics. The course places a heavy emphasis on the real-world applications of mathematics, with the goal of growing students' problem-solving skills along the way.

Calculus is a continuation of Pre-Calculus/Functions, Analysis and Trigonometry or Mathematical Analysis Honors, beginning with a review of pre-calculus concepts. Topics covered include mathematical modeling, functions (algebraic and transcendental), continuity, limits, differentiation techniques, and applications of the derivative. This course will focus on developing mathematical fluency with an emphasis on application and computation.

Calculus Honors is a continuation of the Mathematical Analysis Honors course and assumes a strong mathematical background of pre-calculus concepts. Topics covered include mathematical modeling, functions (algebraic and transcendental), continuity, limits, differentiation techniques, applications of the derivative, integral calculus, and applications of integration. Students begin the year studying limits and continuity. The focus of the first semester is differential calculus and the second semester is devoted to integral calculus.

This course follows the syllabus outlined by the College Board and is equivalent to a one-semester college course in Calculus. Topics covered include graphical, numerical, verbal and modeling approaches to all families of functions (algebraic and transcendental). The course covers limits and continuity, differentiation, and integration, along with their applications and a focus on theory. Students are required to take the Advanced Placement Exam in May.

The course is equivalent to a full-year college course in Calculus. In addition to the review of AP Calculus AB topics, the course covers advanced integration techniques, sequences and series, vector calculus, logistic, and curves defined in parametric and polar spaces. Students are required to take the Advanced Placement Exam in May.

AP Statistics, equivalent to a college-level statistics course, encompasses four major themes: exploratory analysis, experimental design, probability models and statistical inference techniques. Application of technology, including manipulating statistical software, use of the TI-84 calculator and interpreting advanced computer outputs is integral to the course. Along with more traditional modes of math instruction, the course also integrates reading and analysis of scholarly journals as well as Socratic style seminars. Students are required to take the Advanced Placement exam in May.

This honors course will introduce students to fundamentals of statistics and probability. Descriptive statistics, including the graphical display and numeric analysis of data, is followed by principles of experimental design, empowering students to think critically about data presented in the popular press. The third major component of the course, probability and combinatorics, serves as both a bridge to inferential statistics and a preparation for topics frequently encountered on college entrance exams. Decision-making, quantitative reasoning, and communication are critical elements of inferential statistics, and this course will emphasize and refine those skills. The use of a Statistical software package will be incorporated. Note: students may not enroll in AP Statistics after taking this course.

A lot of events in our life seem random or impossible to predict. We solve interesting problems that range from winning the lottery to the Birthday Paradox. This course will cover basic principles of counting and probability in addition to exploring more advanced topics like using binomial and geometric models used to predict outcomes of random variables. The class will provide the tools necessary to see the world in a different way, one that may not always be intuitive, but is supported by numbers.

Statistics focuses on data analysis and interpretation with a focus on real world applications. This course teaches students to be critical thinkers by looking closely at relevant and topical examples to understand what the numbers are really saying, not just what people are telling them the numbers are saying. Hands on activities help students interpret and communicate statistical information both numerically and graphically. Students will also learn how to use technology as a tool for data analysis by using more web based applets. The course starts with foundational statistics including a close look at how statistics can be misleading, then quickly segues to the Normal Model and its applications (such as the Olympics), and finally ends with an introduction to linear regression analysis.
