Students will be challenged to develop advanced skills in reading, composition, oral communication and logical argument. Students will learn narrative, descriptive, persuasive, and expository essay writing skills. Literary studies include critical analysis and analytical reading. Students will learn universal themes in literature while applying all the stages of composition –pre-writing, writing, revising, and proofreading. Composition skills are emphasized using the 6-traits writing rubric as a basis for grading all student writing. The grammatical, mechanical and syntactical skills of language are taught within the meaningful context of the writing process. Extensive in and out of class reading, individual and group projects, challenging class discussions, and a variety of writing experiences will be required.

Students enter the Transition Skills class with their ownwork from their core classes. The instruction is individualized depending onthe homework that they need to work on for other courses. The course will helpteach students to become self-directed and independent learners.Teacher: Tara HelmsStatistics - Mrs. SpeckTeacher: Elizabeth SpeckAlgebra II - AguileraWelcome to Algebra II! This is an intense course providing spiral review of key Algebra topics that will then expand to advanced functions as outlined by the Arizona Department of Education.Algebra II is made up of advanced functions.Topics include:linear systemsquadratic systemspolynomialradicalrationalexponentiallogarithmictrigonometric functionsprobability and statistics concepts.Teacher: Alexa AguileraPre-Calculus (Still)My email: rstill@morenci.orgPre-Calculus Course DescriptionThis course is designed to provide a comprehensive study of functions, which are the basis of calculus and other higher mathematics courses. Topics considered for first semester are: polynomial, rational, inverse, exponential, logarithmic functions and conic sections.Additional topics for semester 1 include systems of equations and inequalities, binomial expansion, and complex numbers.During the second semester, the students will explore analytic geometry, periodic functions, trigonometric properties and identities, applications of trigonometric functions, vectors, sequences, series and limits.Prerequisite-Algebra 2 or higherRequires a TI-83 or higher graphing calculator.Teacher: Renee StillGeometry - CastilloSemester 1Geometry is a course in structured logic. Students learn theorems and postulates and then formproblem-solving plans by which to solve or prove various geometric situations. During the firstsemester students receive an overview of Euclidean and analytical geometry, intersections of lines andplanes, uses of postulates and theorems, properties of triangles, congruence of triangles, transformations,and similarity of figures.Semester 2Students study inductive and deductive reasoning, laws of logic, properties of polygons, properties ofright triangles, properties and components of circles, and areas and volumes of geometric figures andsolids. The ability to construct proofs continues to be stressed as the students’ problem-solving skillsgrow.Teacher: Ilsa CastilloTeacher: Amelia SavageAlgebra I - SPECKThe Algebra 1 course curriculum is based on Arizona's State Standards. Semester 1 focuses on solving equations, learning to write and interpret linear functions, graphing and solving equations and inequalities in one and two variable, and basic operations with expressions (including polynomials). Semester 2 builds on the foundations learned in the first semester.

Students will be responsible for learning, applying, and retaining information about the following topics:Expressions, Equations, and FunctionsProperties of Real NumbersSolving and Graphing Linear Equations and FunctionsWriting LInear EquationsSolving and Graphing Linear InequalitiesSystems of Equations and InequalitiesExponenets and Exponential FunctionsPolynomials and FactoringQuadratic Equations and FunctionsRadicals and Geometry ConnectionsRational Equations and FunctionsProbability and Data AnalysisMrs. Aguilera: Alexa AguileraFundamentals of Algebra II - AguileraThis course covers conceptsof algebra beyond what is normally addressed in Algebra I; therefore, credit in Algebra I is a prerequisite for enrollment in Fundamentals of Algebra II. Geometry is usually taken prior to taking the Fundamentals course, but in special cases, the sequence may be reversed or the two courses may be taken concurrently. This courseis fundamentally similar to theAlgebra II course, but the scope will be less extensive, the pacing will be slower, and some of the concepts will not be covered in as much depth.Topics will include a review of Algebra I concepts, systems and matrices, quadratic functions, and more advanced functions as time permits.Students who have not yet met or exceeded the math portion of Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) should benefit greatly from the content covered in this course.Teacher: Alexa AguileraTeacher: Ashley CarbajalAlgebra 2 - StillMy email: rstill@morenci.orgWelcome to Algebra 2!
