Honors Math 2 is the second course of a four-year sequence of mathematics classes which satisfy college entrance requirements. This course expands on the content of Math 1 while introducing concepts and techniques that will be essential for more advanced mathematics and science courses. Honors Math 2 extends students’ understanding of quadratic expressions, equations and functions, focusing on five critical areas: (1) extend the laws of exponents to rational exponents; (2) compare key characteristics of quadratic functions with those of linear and exponential functions; (3) create and solve equations and inequalities involving linear, exponential, and quadratic expressions; (4) extend work with probability; and (5) establish criteria for similarity of triangles based on dilations and proportional reasoning. The course is based on the Common Core Mathematics Content Standards adopted by the State Board of Education in August 2010 with real world application of higher level math. 

Honors Mathematics II represents extension, acceleration and enrichment of the Common Core State Standards for Math II. Curriculum indicates depth, rigor, accelerated pacing, complexity, challenges, and creativity beyond the standard level course.

The Statistics and Probability course offers an alternative fourth course to Pre-calculus. In this class students continue to develop a more formal and precise understanding of statistical inference. Students learn that formal inference procedures are designed for studies in which the sampling or assignments of treatments was random, and these procedures may be less applicable to nonrandomized observational studies. Probability is still viewed as long-run relative frequency but the emphasis now shifts to conditional probability and independence.
