GSE Algebra 27.0990000 Y 9 See placement guidelines

Students will formalize and extend the mathematics that they learned in the middle grades; deepen and extend understanding of linear relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend; use algebra to deepen and extend understanding of geometric knowledge from prior grades; and tie together the algebraic and geometric ideas studied.

In addition, transformations on the coordinate plane provide opportunities for the formal study of congruence and similarity. The study of similarity leads to an understanding of right triangle trigonometry and connects to quadratics through Pythagorean relationships. The study of circles uses similarity and congruence to develop basic theorems relating circles and lines and rounds out the course.

GSE Geometry 27.0991000 Y 10 See placement guidelines

Transformations on the coordinate plane provide opportunities for the formal study of congruence and similarity. The study of similarity leads to an understanding of right triangle trigonometry and connects to quadratics through Pythagorean relationships. The study of circles uses similarity and congruence to develop basic theorems relating circles and lines. The need for extending the set of rational numbers arises, and real and complex numbers are introduced so that all quadratic equations can be solved.

Quadratic expressions, equations, and functions are developed; comparing their characteristics and behavior to those of linear and exponential relationships. The link between probability and data is explored through conditional probability.

GSE Accelerated Geometry Honors

27.0995040 Y 9-10 See placement guidelines

The need for extending the set of rational numbers arises, and real and complex numbers are introduced so that all quadratic equations can be solved. Quadratic expressions, equations, and functions are developed, comparing their characteristics and behavior to those of linear and exponential relationships. The link between probability and data is explored through conditional probability. Methods from probability and statistics are used to draw inferences and conclusions from data. Students expand their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions. They expand their study of right triangle trigonometry to model periodic phenomena. Students bring together all of their experience with functions and geometry to create models and solve contextual problems.

GSE Algebra 2 27.0992000 Y 11 See placement guidelines

Students will pull together and apply the accumulation of learning from their previous mathematics courses. Methods from probability and statistics will be used to draw inferences and conclusions from data. Students will expand their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions. The study of right triangle trigonometry will be expanded and then used to model periodic phenomena. Experiences with functions and geometry will help students to create models and solve contextual problems.

GSE Accelerated Pre- calculus Honors

27.0977040 Y 10-11 See placement guidelines

This course is intended to prepare students for a more intense study of mathematics. The study of circles and parabolas is extended to include other conics such as ellipses, and hyperbolas. Trigonometric functions are further developed to include inverses, general triangles, and identities. Matrices provide an organization structure in which to represent and solve complex problems. The concept of complex numbers is extended and the coordinate plane is used to represent and operate upon vectors. Probability rounds out the course using counting methods.

Investigations require students to ask questions, make observations and predictions, design experiments, analyze data, and construct arguments in a collaborative setting, where they direct and monitor their progress.

AP Chemistry 40.0530010 Y 11-12 General Chemistry & Algebra II

The key concepts and related content that define the AP Chemistry course and exam are organized around underlying principles called the Big Ideas. They encompass core scientific principles, theories, and processes that cut across traditional boundaries and provide a broad way of thinking about the particulate nature of matter underlying the observations students make about the physical world. The following are Big Ideas:

• The chemical elements are the building blocks of matter, which can be understood in terms of the arrangements of atoms.

• Chemical and physical properties of materials can be explained by the structure and the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules and the forces between them.

• Changes in matter involve the rearrangement and/or reorganization of atoms and/or the transfer of electrons.

• Rates of chemical reactions are determined by details of the molecular collisions.

• The laws of thermodynamics describe the essential role of energy and explain and predict the direction of changes in matter.

• Bonds or attractions that can be formed can be broken. These two processes are in constant competition, sensitive to initial conditions and external forces or changes.

Fulton County Course Placement Guidelines For the Academic School Year 2017 – 2018

Teachers of pre-requisite courses are responsible for making appropriate course recommendations for the next school year. In making recommendations, teachers are encouraged to consider student interests, overall course load, and the district placement guidelines. Schools are encouraged to review and share data with students and parents regarding data points and student behaviors that indicate overall student success in advanced courses. However, no student who meets the criteria outlined in the district placement guidelines should be prevented from taking the course. In determining placement for students who fall short of the criteria, overall aptitude demonstrated by the preponderance of evidence from past performance and teacher feedback should be considered, always bearing in mind what is in the best interests of the student. Parents may sign a waiver for placement in an advanced, honors, or Advanced Placement course if a student does not meet the district placement guidelines. Waivers are not available for middle school TAG classes as additional state funding is collected for TAG students enrolled in these courses. Alternative placement criteria are applied by the TAG teacher to determine if an additional TAG class is appropriate for a TAG student.
