NEW YORK STATE REGENTS PROGRAM
The New York State Education's Regents Mathematics curriculum has been redesigned to include Integrated Algebra, Geometry and Algebra 2/ Trigonometry. These requirements are in place of the prior required courses, Mathematics A and Mathematics B. The curriculum is designed for all students to meet the requirements for high school graduation and a NYS Regents Diploma or Advanced Regents Diploma.
Students must complete three (3) years of study in the required regents level mathematical courses (Integrated Algebra, Geometry and Algebra2/ Trigonometry) and pass one (1) Mathematics Regents Examination in order to graduate with a New York State Regents Diploma. Students must complete three (3) years of study in the required courses and pass the three (3) New York State Mathematics Regents Examinations in order to graduate with an Advanced New York State Regents Diploma.
The three courses are designed to meet the learning standards identified by the New York State Education Department that are necessary to complete the required courses of study and to succeed on the New York State Regents Examinations.
Graphing Calculators (TI-83) are required and will be used in the program to enhance and support the
Mathematics in all units of study.

ADVANCED MATHEMATICS
PRE CALCULUS PROGRAM
The Advanced Mathematics Pre-calculus Program is designed to prepare students for an Advanced Placement Calculus course in high school or a calculus course in college. The Pre-calculus course consists of a full academic year of work in advanced mathematics and a preparation for calculus. The course is intended for superior mathematics students who have completed three years of secondary mathematics Regents level courses designed for college-bound students. Graphing Calculators are required and will be used to enhance and support the mathematics in all units of study.
PRE CALCULUS
GRADE 11-12 1 CREDIT COURSE #3041
Prerequisite: ALGEBRA II &TRIGONOMETRY (B2 - B3)
This course includes the study of analytic geometry, matrices and determinants, elementary functions and graphs including polynomial, trigonometric, piecewise, rational, inverse and transcendental functions, logarithmic and exponential functions, limits, differentiation, and applications of differentiation.
Prerequisite: ALGEBRA II &TRIGONOMETRY (B2 - B3)
Passing score on Algebra II/Trigonometry Regents
Teacher Recommendation Required
PRE CALCULUS HONORS
GRADE 11-12 1 CREDIT COURSE #3040
The honors course includes the same topics as Pre-calculus covered in a more rigorous manner. Proofs, derivations, and applications are emphasized.
Prerequisite: ALGEBRA II &TRIGONOMETRY (B2 - B3)

ADVANCED PLACEMENT
MATHEMATICS PROGRAM
The Advanced Placement Mathematics Program is designed for students who want the opportunity to pursue college-level study while still in high school. The Advanced Placement Program courses are aligned with College Board Advanced Placement Program Course Descriptions. The courses are intended for superior mathematics students who have completed four years of secondary mathematics designed for college-bound students in which they study algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions. Students should be able to work with functions represented in a variety of ways: numerically, analytically, graphically, and verbally - and understand the connections among these representations. Graphing Calculators are required and will be used in the course to enhance and support the mathematics in all units of study. The College Board Advanced Placement Examinations are offered each May. All students are required to take the Advanced Placement Examinations and pay the examination fee.
