Please note

When selecting a School Level and Department, the courses for that School Level / Department will display below and the faculty will display to the right. For Logic/High School levels, the faculty to the right represent the faculty for the entire department and are not specific to the school level but the course are specific to the level.

Math

Rigorous mathematical training benefits the mind and changes the way we understand the world. The Mathematics Department at Coram Deo Academy trains students to be logical thinkers and problem solvers who appreciate the order of our created universe and understand the development of mathematics in its historical and scientific contexts. Our goal is to develop wise men and women who will use their God-given mathematical abilities to shape fields in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for the glory of God.

Advanced Algebra: 10

In 10^th grade students return to algebra, where they will begin to apply mathematical ideas on deeper levels, using multiple variables. Students will progress from a review of linear functions to systems of equations and inequalities, quadratic functions, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, rational functions, and finally irrational functions. As mathematics is the language of science, this course will focus on using Algebra to model ‘real-life’ problems. Linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships can be observed empirically in the natural world. World-view perspectives will be included to encourage students to see the relevancy of the curriculum not only in explaining the natural world but also in the development of their faith.
AP Calculus AB: 12

Seniors have the option of taking AP/ Dual credit Calculus or Integrated Math. Calculus students will study the properties of functions, how to compute derivatives of a wide range of functions and how to recognize the many roles of the derivative in solving “real world problems”. Computation of the integral will be taught, along with its various applications in the natural sciences. Historical figures, theorems, problems, and their impact on culture will be integrated throughout the course.
AP Pre-Calculus: 11
College Algebra: 12

Description: Students study various aspects of polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions as well as solving systems of equations using matrices. Additional topics such as partial fraction decompositions, sequences, series and the Binomial Theorem. Requirements: $50 online book fee
Dual Credit College Algebra: 12

In this dual credit College Algebra course, students study various aspects of polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions as well as solving systems of equations using matrices. Additional topics such as partial fraction decompositions, sequences, series and the Binomial Theorem.
Geometry: 9

In geometry (geo – earth, metric – measurement), students will learn to “measure the earth,” or think clearly and logically about God’s creation. Geometry students will learn about lines, planes, angles, triangles, shapes and similarity, while learning to reason logically through their first introduction to formal proofs. Throughout the course, students will develop an appreciation for God-given logical principles and learn about great mathematicians and their contributions to scientific thought.
Integrated Math: 12

Seniors have the option of taking AP/ Dual credit Calculus or Integrated Math. Integrated math students study personal finance and continue in algebra with the opportunity to receive College Algebra credit through Colorado Christian University.
Personal Finance: 12

Personal Finance provides students with life lessons for college and beyond. The course is grounded in Dave Ramsey’s financial readiness course, with additional practical application in saving and budgeting, investment, car loans, insurance, taxes, and consumer awareness. The goal is to make students wise thinkers about money and good stewards of the resources that God has given us.
Pre-Calculus: CC

Pre-calculus Lab is designed to offer students a more in-depth treatment of advanced topics in preparation for Calculus. Students will attend
Trigonometry with their class on Core days, but students taking the additional Friday lab will have Precalculus, rather than Trigonometry,
designated on their transcript. This lab is required for students who plan to take Calculus in their senior year. We will study Advanced topics
in Algebra, add depth to topics studied in Trigonometry, and make sure students are well-prepared for AP or dual credit Calculus the
following year.

Requirements: Students have up to 7 classes paid by their tuition.
Trigonometry with Pre-Calculus: 11 FM and D
Trigonometry: 11 CC and D

Description: Trigonometry at its most basic principles involves Triangles (trigonon) and measuring (metron). This branch of mathematics gives us the means of determining the dimensions of a triangle from a few known pieces of information. Historically, the ability to calculate these dimensions was critical in navigation, timekeeping, and astronomy. The periodic nature of these functions will be explored, as will their use in modeling Godâ€™s creation. Vectors, the geometry of conic sections, and number theory will be explored during this course as well. Juniors who plan to pursue advanced math and science will have the option of taking a PreCalculus lab along with Trigonometry and have to provide a strong mathematical foundation for Calculus.
