Mathematics

Bob Jones Academy / Academics / Grades 6 – 12 / High School Courses / Mathematics

Algebra I

Introduces basic algebraic concepts, including real number subsets and operations, polynomial operations and factoring, solving equations (linear, radical, rational and quadratic), solving word problems, and graphing lines, functions and inequalities.

  • TI-30XIIS or TI-30XS Multiview calculator required

Algebra I: General

Reviews basic computations and introduces algebraic concepts. Includes content similar to Algebra I but maintains a slower pace. Utilizes manipulatives for a more concrete understanding of concepts.

  • TI-30, TI-30XIIS or TI-30XS Multiview calculator required

Algebra I: Honors*

Introduces basic algebraic concepts, including real number subsets and operations, polynomial operations and factoring, solving equations (linear, radical, rational and quadratic), solving word problems, and graphing lines, functions and inequalities. Includes enrichment topics involving mathematical careers, history and challenge problems.

  • TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator required

Algebra II

Reviews elementary algebra with an emphasis on solving equations and graphing functions. Expands to include solving and graphing higher degree, complex, rational, and radical equations and functions. Integrates models of real-world problems.

  • TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator required

Algebra II: GeneralBJA Class

Reviews elementary algebra with an emphasis on solving equations and graphing functions. Takes an overview approach to the introduction of systems of equations, rational expressions, complex numbers, conic sections and trigonometry. De-emphasizes abstract concepts, derivations and word problems. Stresses concrete models.

  • TI-30, TI-30XIIS or TI-30XS Multiview calculator required

Algebra II: Honors*

A second-year study in algebra which includes solving and graphing of linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, and systems. Covers operations with radicals, imaginary numbers, polynomials, functions and rational expressions. Introduces trigonometry, logarithms, matrices and probability.

  • TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator required

Consumer Math

Emphasizes practical mathematical application in everyday situations such as paying taxes, maintaining a checkbook, buying a car, buying a house, obtaining credit, avoiding debt and purchasing insurance. Seeks to show all these things in the light of God’s Word.

    • TI-30, TI-30XIIS or TI-30XS Multiview calculator required

 GeometryBJA Class

Teaches an appreciation of the attributes of our great God and teaches logical thinking skills using the medium of Euclidean plane and solid geometry. Includes topics such as proofs, logic, area, volume, constructions, trigonometry and transformations.

  • TI-30, TI-30XIIS, TI-30XS Multiview, TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator required

Geometry: General

Teaches an appreciation of the attributes of our great God and teaches logical thinking skills using the medium of Euclidean plane and solid geometry. Uses similar content to that listed for Geometry with a slower pace and more individualized help.

  • TI-30, TI-30XIIS, TI-30XS Multiview, TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator required

Geometry: Honors*

Teaches an appreciation of the attributes of our great God and teaches logical thinking skills using the medium of Euclidean plane and solid geometry. Includes topics such as proofs, logic, area, volume, constructions, trigonometry and transformations. Moves at a quicker pace and includes the introduction of more complex topics through varied presentations and media. Uses practice problems that are selectively chosen and tailored for mathematically advanced students.

  • TI-30XIIS or an advanced TI calculator (TI-30XS Multiview, TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator) required

Precalculus (First semester)

Study of algebraic (polynomial, rational, radical) and transcendental (trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic) functions, including an introduction to conics and polar coordinates.

  • TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator required

Intro to Calculus (Second semester)

Study of complex numbers, matrix algebra, statistics, sequences and limits with an introduction to one of the two main concepts of calculus (derivatives).

  • TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator required

Precalculus: Honors (First semester)

Study of algebraic (polynomial, rational, radical) and transcendental (trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic) functions, including an introduction to conics, polar coordinates, complex numbers and vectors.

  • TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator required

Intro to Calculus: Honors (Second semester)

Study of matrix algebra, statistics, sequences and limits leading to discussion of the two main concepts of calculus (derivatives and integrals).

  • TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator required

Dual Credit Courses

Juniors and seniors interested in taking dual credit math courses should review requirements for taking dual credit courses here and may explore Bob Jones University’s course listing for additional course options. Students must complete Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II in order to take any dual credit math course. Some math courses require an ACT Math score as a prerequisite; juniors lacking an ACT score should see the academic office to request placement.

Ma 200 Calculus I

  • Prerequisite: Intro to Calculus: Honors; or for students in Intro to Calculus (regular), recommendation by that teacher
  • Prerequisite: math ACT score of 31+

Ma 220 Mathematical Problem Solving

  • Prerequisite: Math ACT 20 or Ma 103 placement
  • Not applicable to an Actuarial Science major, a Mathematics major or minor, or a Mathematics Education major

*Honors math courses

The mathematics department offers an honors program in order to better challenge and develop students who excel in math. Students are selected for the honors program based on a combination of teacher recommendation, student ability, math grades, and achievement test scores. Less drill and repetition result in an accelerated pace—but not a greater homework load.  Classroom instruction focuses on more theoretical development of the material, necessitating more independent and critical thinking. Because of the nature of the honors courses, a final semester grade of C or below in an honors class jeopardizes a student’s continuance in the honors program.
