Mathematics Department
A minimum of two years of mathematics is required for graduation with two semester credits to be taken in grades 10-12. Beginning with the class of 2007, students will have to pass three (3) years of mathematics in grades 9-12. However, students are encouraged to take as many math courses as possible while attending Samohi.
Our college prep sequence includes Algebra A/B or Algebra A/B P, Geometry A/B, Intermediate Algebra A/B, and Pre-Calculus A/B. These courses prepare students for admission to the University of California and other universities.
For those who want to continue their studies in mathematics, we offer sections of Calculus, Calculus A/B and/or B/C, and Statistics AP.
Prior to enrollment in a math course, students new to our school will be tested for the most appropriate placement. For some courses it is strongly recommended that students have their own TI-83 or TI-83Plus graphing calculators.
Course Descriptions and Requirements:
Algebra
Calculus and Pre-calculus
