Welcome to the SHHS Math Department
You can
receive make-up time credit
or serve a school detention
as well. Ask a math teacher for more details Mission StatementThe mission of the South Houston High School Mathematics Department is to provide an educational experience in mathematics that helps students prepare for successful roles in an ever changing society. To support this mission we, the SHHS Math Department, will be committed to continuing professional development, will continue to align the curriculum to meet both district and state standards, will help students make real world connections using innovative teaching practices, and will continually incorporate technology in our lessons. We will employ various assessment techniques, use a variety of teaching styles, and maintain an intervention plan for students that might be having difficulty. We believe all students can be successful. SHHS students will be challenged to develop skills in analysis, reasoning, creativity, collaborative learning, and self-expression as they gain knowledge of mathematics. We will maintain high academic and behavioral expectations and try to make every classroom minute count. It is our hope, that through our efforts, SHHS students will realize their full potential. Courses
Algebra I students use symbols in a variety of ways to study relationships among quantities. They use functions to represent and model problem situations and to analyze and interpret relationships. Students use a variety of representations, tools, and technology to model mathematical situations and to solve meaningful problems. As they do algebra, students continually use problem solving, computation in problem-solving contexts, language and communication, connections within and outside mathematics, and reasoning, as well as multiple representations, applications and modeling and justification and proof. Students must have credit in Algebra I prior to enrolling in any other high school mathematics course. Geometry students study properties and relationships having to do with size, shape, location, direction, and orientation of figures. They solve meaningful problems using geometric ideas, relationships, properties, and extend their use of algebraic concepts. As they do geometry, students continually use problem solving; computation in problem-solving contexts; language and communication; connections within and outside mathematics; reasoning; as well as multiple representations; applications and modeling; and justification and proof. This course is part of the recommended high school program. Students will examine the same topics as in Geometry, but with a greater emphasis on depth, complexity, and analysis. This course is part of the recommended high school program. (PREMIUM GRADE POINTS) Mathematics Models students use algebraic, graphical, and geometric reasoning to recognize patterns and structure, model information, and to solve problems. Students use mathematical methods to model and solve real-life applied problems involving money, data, chance, patterns, music, design, and science. This course is NOT part of the recommended high school program. Not recommended as a replacement for Algebra II for college-bound students. Algebra II students continue their study of algebraic concepts and the relationships among them to better understand the structure of algebra. Students perceive functions and equations as means for analyzing and understanding a broad variety of relationships and as a useful tool for expressing generalizations. They learn that equations and functions are algebraic tools that can be used to represent geometric curves and figures and they perceive the connections between algebra and geometry and use the tools of one to help solve problems in the other. This course is part of the recommended high school program. Students will examine the same topics as in Algebra II, but with a greater emphasis on depth, complexity, and analysis. This course is part of the recommended high school program. (PREMIUM GRADE POINTS) Pre-Calculus students continue to build upon their Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry foundations by using symbolic reasoning and analytical methods to represent mathematical situations, to express generalizations, and to study mathematical concepts and the relationships among them. Students use functions, equations, and limits as useful tools for expressing generalizations and as means for analyzing and understanding a broad variety of mathematical relationships. Students use a variety of representations, tools, and technology to model functions and equations and solve problems. Pre-Calculus provides the foundation for college mathematics. (PREMIUM GRADE POINTS) Students will examine the same topics as in Pre-Calculus, but with a greater emphasis on depth, complexity, and analysis. (PREMIUM GRADE POINTS) Students who successfully complete the course and the optional AP examination may receive credit and/or advanced placement for a one-semester introductory college calculus course. (PREMIUM GRADE POINTS) Students who successfully complete the course and the optional AP examination may receive credit and/or advanced placement for a one-semester introductory college statistics course. (PREMIUM GRADE POINTS) Mathematics Awards Congratulations to the following students for winning awards in mathematics during the 2006-2007 school year:
