Math 2 Students

After Math 2, there are a lot of course options to consider depending on your interests, college/career pathway, and the academic balance of your schedule. We recommend 4 years of math to be taken to keep doors open after high school.

 

Next Steps

Math 3 

may be the course for you!

Math 3 Machining & Manufacturing 

may be the course for you!

Math 3 Compression 

may be the course for you!
Math 3 is the third course in high school mathematics taught at a traditional pace.  This course will prepare you for a variety of third and fourth year classes depending on your pathway (i.e. Math 4 – STEM, Math 4 – QL, Human End/Prob & Stats, etc.) Math 3 Machining and Manufacturing is a two credit course awarding students with Math 3 credit in Mathematics as well as a Manufacturing credit in Career and Technical Education (dual credit).  Students will regularly apply algebraic concepts, including various trigonometry and geometry topics, to their metalworking projects, lending both more meaning and depth of understanding of the mathematical content.  Math 3 Compression is taught at a faster pace than Math 3 and Math 3 M&M by covering all of Math 3 and some of Precalculus.  The time required for out of class practice will be greater.  This course will prepare you for Precalculus and Precalculus Compression and eventually calculus.

How do you decide if Math 3 Compression is right for you?  KEEP DOORS OPEN! 

  • Have you developed good work habits (homework completion, seek extra help when needed)?
  • Did you achieve proficiency (3s or 4s) on your learning targets in Math 1 and Math 2?
  • Are you ready for your math course to move at a faster pace?

Additional Electives Available to You

AP Computer Science Principles

AP Computer Science A
  • Full year course
  • Designed to help students determine their interest in computer science while learning the basics of programming.  
  • This is a great class for students to take before AP Computer Science A  to help them get ready.
  • Full year course
  • Covers topics included in a full-year introductory college course in computer science
  • Emphasizes programming methodology (including recursion) and procedural abstraction.  

Data Science 
  • Recommended to be concurrently taken with one of the classes noted on the front side! 
  • EXCELLENT math elective course for all levels of students.  
  • How is Data Science different from Statistics

Statistics is more about the calculations where Data Science is more about exploring real-world questions by looking at patterns in our data.  In Data Science students will be challenged to represent data in different ways. Students will learn to be data explorers in project-based units, through which they will develop their understanding of data analysis, sampling, correlation/causation, bias and uncertainty, probability, modeling with data, making and evaluating data-based arguments, and the power of data in society.

**If you are college bound, considering taking this as a second math course (elective), but not in place of any of the others listed. 

If you are going to be a senior next year: 

Math 4 (Quantitative Literacy or STEM)

Math 4 – STEM or Math 4 – Quantitative Literacy could be the courses for you. These transitional math courses are an introduction to college level mathematics on the Quantitative Literacy and STEM Pathway. With successful completion of these courses (C or better), students will earn a direct transition to a college credit-bearing math course on the Quantitative Literacy and STEM Pathway during their first year of college. This is an amazing opportunity when it comes to saving time and money from having to take an entry math placement test at school or non-credit bearing math courses during your first years of college.
