1. Math Course Selection

4. What is AP Statistics
An introductory course in statistics aimed at developing analytical and critical thinking skills
You learn to describe data patterns and departures from patterns, plan and conduct studies, use probability and simulation to explore random phenomena, estimate population parameters, test hypotheses, and make statistical inferences.
During chapters 1-4 you will think “Why on earth is this an AP course?”
By chapter 5 you will understand why.
Who should register for the course:
9th graders in Advance Algebra 2 with a 95% or higher
10th & 11th grade students who have completed an Algebra 2 course with a “B” or better
It is an elective (must be taken concurrently with another math in 10th & 11th grade) may be taken alone as a senior
Why should you take AP Statistics:
Virtually every major in college requires at least one statistics course
Because its nice to know if the information presented in ads and articles have valid claims
Stat majors make lots of money

5. AP Calculus AB
is a full year course in single-variable calculus that includes techniques and applications of the derivative, techniques and applications of the definite integral, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. It is equivalent to at least a semester of calculus at most colleges and universities, perhaps to a year of calculus at some. Algebraic, numerical, and graphical representations are emphasized throughout the course.
Equivalent to one and a half semesters of college calculus
Who should register for the course:
11th grade students who have completed Advanced Trig Calculus with a “B” or better
Appropriate for all college majors
Why should you take AP Calculus AB:
Secure up to 4 credits of college calculus
Prepare for the rigors of college courses
Discover where much of the algebra you have learned is later used

6. AP Calculus BC
Calculus BC is a full year course in single-variable calculus that includes all the topics of Calculus AB (techniques and applications of the derivative, techniques and applications of the definite integral, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus) plus additional topics in differential and integral calculus (including parametric, polar, and vector functions) and series.
It is equivalent to at least a full year of calculus (2 semesters) at most colleges and universities.
Who should register for the course:
11th grade students who have completed Advanced Trig Calculus with a “A”
Appropriate for all college majors but mostly designed for those pursuing a Math or Science degree
This course moves at a faster pace than AP Calculus AB, since it contains all of that material and more.
Why should you take AP Calculus BC:
Secure up to 8 credits of college calculus
Prepare for the rigors of college courses
Discover where much of the algebra you have learned is later used

A 75% or higher is required to take this class
A CLEP test can be taken at the end of the year to attempt college credit
College Algebra HACC on-line
This course will be an extension of TPC at a more in-depth level.
Who should take it:
It is recommended for the college bound senior not planning to major in math or science.
An “A” in TPC or “B” in ATC should have been attained to take this class
Passing this course earn college credit
You must pass a placement test from HACC in order to be accepted into the class
Anyone who does not pass the placement test will automatically be registered for College Algebra
