All students are expected to show proficiency in
BHS graduation standards through the completion
of their coursework. Graduation standards ad-
dressed in each course are identified in the course
descriptions.
Math Graduation Standards
ALGEBRA - BHS.MGS.A
Interpret, represent, create and solve algebraic expres-
sions.
FUNCTIONS - BHS.MGS.F
Interpret, analyze, construct, and graph linear, qua-
dratic, and trigonometric functions.
GEOMETRY - BHS.MGS.G
Prove, understand, and model geometric concepts,
theorems, and constructions to solve problems.
STATISTICS & PROBABILITY - BHS.MGS.S
Interpret, infer and apply statistics and probability to
analyze data and reach and justify conclusions.
Pre-Algebra
#14015
Open to: Grade 9, 10, 11 & 12
Level: CS
Credit: 1
Standards Addressed: BHS.MGS.A, G
Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation or placement
test
Description: This course is a review of basic math
and an introduction of basic algebra skills. The
course introduces concepts such as operations with
positive and negative numbers, basic algebraic ex-
pressions, and an introduction to word problems.

Algebra I #14035/#14036
Open to: Grade 9, 10, 11 & 12
Level: CS/CP
Credit: 1
Standards Addressed: BHS.MGS.A, F
Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation or placement test
Description: This is a theoretical approach to Algebra I. It fo-
cuses on algebraic functions, equation-solving skills and inequali-
ties, graphing linear equations and inequalities, and functions and
function notation, and systems of equations, properties of expo-
nents. Honors component: polynomials and factoring.
Geometry #14045/#14046
Open to: Grades 10, 11 & 12
Level: CS/CP
Credit: 1
Standards Addressed: BHS.MGS.A,G
Prerequisite: Algebra I or Teacher recommendation
Description: Geometry offers students a means of describing,
analyzing, and understanding aspects of their world. Geometric
modeling, visualization, and spatial reasoning can be used to solve
many kinds of problems. This course includes the study of congru-
ent and similar triangles and their associated proofs. Quadrilater-
als, parallelism, ratio and proportion, and practical uses of trigo-
nometry associated with right triangles are also covered.
Geometry - Honors
#14047
Open to: Grades 9 & 10
Level: H
Credit: 1
Standards Addressed: BHS.MGS.A,G
Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation
Description: Geometry offers students a means of describing,
analyzing, and understanding aspects of their world. Geometric
modeling, visualization, and spatial reasoning can be used to solve
many problems. This is an integration of algebra and geometry
which includes the study of congruent and similar triangles with
an emphasis on geometric proofs. This course includes the study
of a variety of geometric shapes including triangles, quadrilater-
als, and circles. This course is for the very talented math student.
