The content of the 2007 Mississippi Framework is centered on the five content strands of number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis & probability. The five process standards (problem-solving, communication, reasoning, and proof, connections, and representations) permeate all instructional practices. The five interrelated content strands along with the five process strands combine to provide continuity to the teaching of K-12 mathematics and assure that appropriate processes are used and important concepts are learned throughout each grade level and secondary course.

Credit Unit: 1/2 credit
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I., Geometry, Algebra II.
Length of Class:1 semester

Trigonometry
Description: Trigonometry is a comprehensive study of trigonometric functions with emphasis on applications. This course extends algebraic concepts to the exploration of circular and triangular functions with their properties and graphs. This course is recommended for college bound students.

Credit Unit: 1/2
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra, and Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II
Length of Class: 1 semester

Honors Algebra II
Description: Honors Algebra II is an extension of Algebra II. All competencies listed under Algebra II are discussed in greater detail with a stronger emphasis placed on application. Additional topics covered include matrices and an introduction to trigonometry. A comprehensive test is administered to ninth grade Geometry students. The results of this test, in addition to teacher recommendations, previous scores in math and standardized test scores in mathematics, determine selection of students for Honors Algebra II.

Credit Unit: 1
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra, and Algebra I, Geometry
Length of Class: 2 semesters

Algebra II
Description: Serves as an extension of Algebra I with a variety of topics explored in greater depth. It will continue to provide opportunities for students to become mathematical problem solvers, to gain confidence in their ability to
use mathematics, to learn to communicate and reason mathematically, to generalize when appropriate, and to make mathematical connections.

Credit Unit: 1
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra, and Algebra I, and Geometry
Length of Class: 2 semesters

Survey of Mathematical Topics
Description: Designed to provide students with the skills necessary in making wise financial decisions. The basic concepts of algebra will be reviewed and extended as students solve real-life problems that affect them and their families. This course will provide skills in probability and statistics, logic, linear programming, and regression analysis.

Credit Unit: 1
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra, and Algebra I
Length of Class: 2 semesters

Geometry
Description: Geometry is the study of two and three-dimensional figures. This course will provide the opportunity for students to develop spatial sense and reasoning skills. Students will use the language of geometry to communicate an
understanding of properties and characteristics that encompass geometry.

Credit Unit: 1
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra and Algebra I
Length of Class: 2 semesters

Algebra I
Description: Provides opportunities to develop and communicate an understanding of algebraic representation. Concepts covered include real numbers and their properties, functions, algebraic expressions, linear equations and inequalities,
analysis and probability.

Credit Unit: 1
Prerequisite: 76 or better in Pre-Algebra or Transition to Algebra.
Length of Class: 2 semesters

Transition to Algebra
Description: A course intended to be a bridge between the concrete concepts of Pre-Algebra and the abstract concepts of Algebra I and Geometry. This course will build a stronger foundation of basic skills. It is designed for those students who have completed Pre-Algebra but haven't yet mastered the skills needed for success in Algebra I.

Credit Unit: 1
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra
Length of Class: 2 semesters
