Mathematics
Live On-Line Math Courses.
Live classes, 2 times a week for 1 hour each time. Plus access to your teacher during office hours ensures students have enough time to grasp the subject while also getting the attention they may need to overcome any uncertainties.
Check out our outstanding Math Teachers:
Algebra I
This Algebra 1 course includes the following: functions and graphs, equations in one and two variables, solving systems of equations, exponents, polynomials, factoring, algebraic fractions, operations on square roots/radicals, solving quadratic equations, and inequalities. A graphing calculator is recommended; the teacher will demonstrate using a TI-84. This is a full-year course and is recommended for 9th-grade students. Big River Math classes meet for 1 hour 2 times a week; please note this in your scheduling.
Algebra II (not offered in 2024-25)
Algebra II is recommended for high school juniors or any student who has completed Algebra I.
Consumer Math – Personal Finance
Everyone needs to learn how to balance a checkbook, understand taxes, and budget. These are skills many don’t learn until they practice it in life. This Consumer Math course will help navigate real life financial situations while applying everyday math skills. This course fulfills one high school math credit.
Geometry
This course covers classic Euclidean Geometry, with an emphasis on reasoning skills through proofs and the building of an axiomatic system. Topics include deductive reasoning, points, lines, planes, rays, angles, congruent triangles, geometric inequalities, properties of parallel lines, quadrilaterals, isometries, area, similarity, right triangles and trigonometric ratios, properties of circles, regular polygons, geometric solids, and coordinate geometry. While algebra will not be explicitly taught, algebra review problems are included in most chapters and additional (optional) asynchronous videos and problems will be provided. A scientific calculator is recommended; the teacher will demonstrate using a TI-84. This is a full-year course and is recommended for 10th-grade students. Big River Math classes meet for 1 hour 2 times a week; please note this in your scheduling.
Pre-Algebra
In Pre-Algebra, we will prepare students for the equivalent of a standard high school algebraic course (Algebra 1). In this class students will be introduced to integers, fractions, decimals, square roots, basic step equations and inequalities, linear equations, graphs and functions, some geometry and statistics. Students are also taught how to solve basic equations using variables. This is a full-year course and will meet for 1 hour 2 times a week.
