  2. Choosing the Right Path For YOU!

  3. Projected Enrollments • Many students elect to take more than one math class their senior year

  4. What Class Should I Take Next Year? • Here are a few things to ask yourself when deciding what to take: • Which class(es) will I enjoy the most? • Which class(es) will my college want me to take? • Remember colleges want to see you taking FOUR CONSECUTIVE YEARS of math while in high school

  5. Which Newspaper Headline Interests You The Most? The Mathematics Times Chocolate for Health and Happiness Scientists Report Second Sighting of Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos Google Algorithm Changes Include Freshness Update A Canadian review based on three recent studies has also found a link between eating dark chocolate and a lower risk of stroke or death after a stroke. One study found that the stroke rate was 22% lower in people who ate chocolate once a week. Another found that death from stroke was 46% lower in those who ate 50g of chocolate once a week... Two months after scientists reported that they had clocked subatomic particles known as neutrinos going faster than the speed of light, to the astonishment and vocal disbelief of most of the world’s physicists, the same scientists, performed a second experiment that confirmed its first results… Google revised its methods to make search results timelier. The new algorithm is a recognition that Google, whose dominance depends on providing the most useful results, is being increasingly challenged by services like Twitter and Facebook, which have trained people to expect constant updates with seconds-old news...

  9. M419: AP Statistics • Earn possible college credit by AP exam • Statistics is a set of tools that guides how data is collected, analyzed and interpreted • Data collection in our world continues to accelerate – we need people who can make sense of it in all fields of study!

  10. M359: AP Computer Science • Earn possible college credit by AP exam • Basics of programming using the JAVA language • Computer programming is used in physics, engineering, applied mathematics and other disciplines

  11. M256: Introduction to Computer Programming • Basics of programming using JavaScript, Visual Basic and Visual C# (with XNA) • Covers the same basic material as the AP course, without the AP rigor (project-based class; no written tests) • Projects include interactive web pages, mobile web apps and PC/Xbox games
