VISION STATEMENT Math Analysis and Math Analysis Honors are intended for college- bound students, with above average to high mathematical ability. Both courses expose students to traditional pre- calculus content, with an emphasis on developing their ability, to think in a logical and analytic manner. An emphasis is also placed upon developing arguments and communicating ideas, using appropriate mathematical language. Honors sections will delve, where appropriate, into additional explanations, synthesis, and experimentation, to further prepare students for higher level mathematics. The objectives of this course are: To build upon and enhance skills acquired in Algebra 2 and previous math courses To significantly increase mathematical literacy and enhance problem- solving skills To make mathematical connections with course content in a real- world context To prepare students for more extensive study in calculus, science, and technology Berkeley Heights Public Schools 1

MISSION STATEMENT Math Analysis and Math Analysis Honors provide students, with opportunities to extend the concepts they mastered in Algebra 2. Attention is given to theory and application of trigonometric functions, discrete math, and data analysis, as these content areas provide the mathematical framework, for many contemporary mathematical applications. The curriculum also includes rational expressions, vectors, polar coordinates, polar equations, and complex numbers. In addition to further study in these topics, the honors course will explore parametric equations, binomial expansions, partial fraction decomposition, and an introduction to limits. Technology is integrated consistently throughout the course graphing calculators are used extensively at both levels to discover, apply, and reinforce certain concepts. The prerequisite for Math Analysis is successful completion of Algebra 2, along with a teacher s recommendation. The prerequisite for Math Analysis Honors is a B in Algebra 2 Honors, or an A in Algebra 2, along with a teacher s recommendation. Five (5.0) credits are given for successfully completing each of these full year courses. The New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Technology and 21 st Century Life and Careers, as well as Common Core Standards for Mathematics are integrated throughout the curriculum and are referenced in each section.
