Mathematics Course Offerings
MATHEMATICS
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT: All students are required to pass a minimum of three credits of Math to graduate. One of the four ninth grade math courses must be passed as a graduation requirement.
A fourth year of mathematics will be counted as an elective credit.
The math department recommends students who take Algebra 2 or above purchase a TI-84 (or similar) graphing calculator for classroom use.
NOTATIONS: The following courses are the ONLY courses which may be taken concurrently:
- Regular Algebra II & Regular Geometry (must have earned an “A” in Algebra I and have their Algebra I teacher’s recommendation. This option is ONLY available for rising 10th-12th graders.)
- Regular Precalculus & Discrete Math (with Algebra II teacher’s recommendation)
- Regular Calculus & Discrete Math (with Precalculus teacher’s recommendation)
- Algebra I & Regular Geometry ONLY IF THE STUDENT HAS ALREADY TAKEN ALGEBRA I AND IS RETAKING FOR A BETTER GRADE
- AP Statistics & Regular Precalculus (with Algebra II teacher’s recommendation)
- AP Statistics & Regular Calculus
- AP Statistics & AP Calculus (AB or BC)
- AP Statistics & Discrete Math (with Algebra II teacher’s recommendation)
Students may NOT double-up with any Honors or AP mathematics courses, except AP Statistics.
The following recommendation is made for students who have earned a D in Algebra I and want to take Algebra II:
- not take Geometry but instead retake Algebra I
- take Geometry and retake Algebra I concurrently
- take Geometry, and retake Algebra I during the summer before Geometry or the summer after Geometry-moving on to Algebra II if a C is earned in summer school Algebra I.
Students who have not yet taken Algebra I CANNOT enroll in Algebra I and Geometry concurrently.
Virtual Math Courses: Students taking virtual math courses during the summer to move ahead in the math course sequence is NOT recommended. Also, taking a virtual math course concurrently with any KHS math course during the school year is NOT recommended.
Courses with a * have college credit available
Courses with a † are also available as a Virtual KHS PeLA course
