High School Level Courses
The Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Tappan Zee High School follows the recommendations set forth by the New York State Education Department and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics by offering courses in Mathematics and Computers for all students. Regents examinations are the final examinations in each of the following courses: Algebra, Math 2A, Integrated Geometry (H), Integrated Algebra II/ Trigonometry (H).
Integrated Algebra (with or without lab)
Full Year, 1 credit
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra
or
Math 8
This is the first year of a
three year Regents sequence. The Regents will be given in June of
the 2nd year. This course will cover: Solving linear
equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, systems of
equations, operations with polynomials, factoring, right triangle
trigonometry, permutations, lines of best fit, problem solving.

Integrated Geometry (with or without lab)
Full Year, 1 credit
Prerequisite: Math A or Math
2A, Integrated Algebra
This is the second year of a
three year regents sequence. The Regents will be given in June.
This course will cover Euclidean geometry with
deductive proof, Analytic geometry, Constructions, Linear equations
and inequalities, systems of equations, algebraic fractions and
rational equations.

Integrated Geometry Honors
Full Year, 1 credit
Prerequisite: Math A Honors, Integrated Algebra Honors or Departmental Approval
This is the second year of
a three-year regents sequence. The Regents will be given in June. This course will cover Euclidean geometry with
deductive proof, Analytic geometry, Constructions, Linear equations
and inequalities, systems of equations, algebraic fractions and
rational equations. In addition to studying the regular Regents
material in more depth, extra topics will be included and additional
projects given.

Integrated Algebra II and Trigonometry (with or
without lab)
Full Year, 1 credit
Prerequisite: Math AB or Math 1B, Integrated Geometry
This is the third year of
a three year regents sequence. The Regents will be given in June
(Math B regents). This course will cover Absolute value, quadratic
and radical equations, Polynomial and trigonometric equations,
exponential and logarithmic equations, advanced factoring, trig
graphs, logarithmic and natural logarithmic graphs, law of sine and
cosine, permutations and combinations, standard deviation and lines
of best fit.

Math 12
Full Year, 1 credit
Prerequisite: Algebra II/Trigonometry
This course provides a fourth year of mathematics for students not electing to take the Regents level Pre-calculus. This course is designed to prepare students for college level mathematics. It provides an opportunity for students to develop and maintain college level math skills in their senior year.
The topics include analytic geometry, conic sections, real number analysis including quadratic equations, inequalities and absolute value equations, polynomial equations over the complex field, Application of trigonometry, polar coordinates, matrices, determinants and systems of equations. Optional topics include SAT review and Problem Solving of Financial "Real World" problems (i.e. interest rates, mortgages, compound interest).
