Students who have completed a full year course in Algebra 1 in middle school should take our Algebra 1 competency test given
in late May. Those who pass this test may take Acc Geometry 424/425 or Geometry 422/423 during their freshman year.

Students who have completed Algebra 1 and Geometry in middle school and pass the CMH Algebra 1 and Geometry
competency tests, given in late May, may take Honors Algebra2/Trig*434/435 or Algebra 2 432/433 during their freshman year.

Students must earn 3 math credits while in high school to meet the graduation requirement.

The purpose of Algebra 1 is to give the student an Accelerated Algebra 1 414/415
understanding of the real number system, including such
concepts as the integers, linear equations and inequalities, The Accelerated Algebra 1 414/415 course, designed for
exponents, systems of linear equations, functions and their students talented in math, places an emphasis on discovery
graphs, fractional equations and quadratic equations. These learning, in-depth understanding of topics, emphasis on why
algebraic concepts are applied in problem-solving situations. concepts work and constant application to real life problems.
An introduction to statistics and probability is included. A TI-84
Plus graphing calculator is required. The purpose of Geometry is to develop a student’s inductive
and deductive reasoning skills through the study of polygon
Algebra 1 410/411 properties, circle properties, area, volume, the Pythagorean
Theorem, similarity, right triangle trigonometry, construction
The Algebra 1 410/411 course covers all the essential algebra and transformations. Emphasis is placed on applying geometric
topics, but spends more time on each one in order to provide concepts along with algebra to real world applications. Students

The Algebra 1 412/413 course covers the topics in the
curriculum at a pace appropriate for students of average Prerequisite: Completion of Algebra 1
mathematics ability.
The Geometry 420/421 course includes all of the essential
geometry topics, but spends more time on each one in order
to provide more support to students. Class size is kept smaller.
