ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY TWO COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In SPORK Algebra and Geometry II, students build on their knowledge and skills obtained in SPORK Algebra and Geometry I. They further practice simplifying algebraic expressions and solving linear and quadratic equations. They now solve systems of up to three linear equations and understand the relationship between two lines defined by linear equations. The focus of the course is on functions--linear and quadratic-including their domain and range, as well as graphing. Students apply their graphing skills to solve quadratic and rational inequalities and inequalities with absolute values. In geometry, the focus is on proofs. After being introduced to the basics of logic, students learn how proofs work and they practice proving the theorems they know from SPORK Algebra and Geometry I. Combinatorics are introduced and students apply it to find conditional probability and solve sampling problems with and without replacement. Students are also briefly introduced to complex numbers, vectors, and trigonometry.

AP CALCULUS BC COURSE DESCRIPTION:  
The prerequisite for this course is AP Calculus AB. "AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC focus on students’ understanding of calculus concepts and provide experience with methods and applications. Through the use of big ideas of calculus (e.g., modeling change, approximation and limits, and analysis of functions), each course becomes a cohesive whole, rather than a collection of unrelated topics. Both courses require students to use definitions and theorems to build arguments and justify conclusions. The courses feature a multirepresentational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. Exploring connections among these representations builds understanding of how calculus applies limits to develop important ideas, definitions, formulas, and theorems. A sustained emphasis on clear communication of methods, reasoning, justifications, and conclusions is essential. Teachers and students should regularly use technology to reinforce relationships among functions, to confirm written work, to implement experimentation, and to assist in interpreting results." (College Board, 2019)
