Major Topics CoveredFilter
GPS AlgebraUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
This is the first course in a sequence of courses designed to provide students with a rigorous program of study in mathematics.  It includes radical, polynomial and rational expressions, basic functions and their graphs, simple equations, complex numbers; quadratics and piecewise functions, sample statistics, and curve fitting.  Prerequisite:  successful completion of 8th grade mathematics)
Yes
Accelerated GPS Algebra/GeometryUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
This is the first in a sequence of mathematics courses designed to prepare students to take AB or BC Advanced Placement Calculus. It includes radical, polynomial and rational expressions; functions and their graphs; quadratic and radical equations; fundamentals of proof; properties of polygons, circles and spheres; coordinate geometry; sample statistics and curve fitting. Instruction and assessment should include the appropriate use of manipulatives and technology. Topics should be represented in multiple ways, such as concrete/pictorial, verbal/written, numeric/data-based, graphical, and symbolic methods. Concepts should be introduced and used, where appropriate, in the context of realistic phenomena.
Yes
Analysis/ Pre-Calculus Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Emphasizes real and complex numbers, vectors, matrices, sequences, series, probability, statistics, analytical geometry, functions, and problem solving and trigonometry. Stresses interrelationships of concepts.
No
Statistics Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Emphasizes developing statistical concepts through data collection, analysis, graphing, simulation, randomness, probabilities, and the study of inference and their applications to real life situations.
No

Follows the College Board syllabus for the Advanced Calculus AB Examination. Includes properties of functions and graphs, limits and continuity, differential calculus, and integral calculus.
No
Advanced Placement Statistics Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Follows the College Board syllabus for the Advanced Placement Statistics Examination. Covers four major themes: exploratory analysis, planning a study, probability, and statistical inference.
No
Advanced Placement Calculus 'BC'Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Includes all the concepts in AP Calculus AB as well as parametric, polar and vector functions, L’Hopital’s rules, and Polynomial approximations and series including Taylor series, Maclaurin series, the series of constants, and the concept of a series.
No
GPS GeometryUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
This is the second course in a sequence of courses designed to provide students with a rigorous program of study in mathematics. It includes fundamentals of proof, properties of polygons, coordinate geometry, right triangles, and right triangular trigonometry; properties of circles; statistical inference and exponential functions. (Prerequisite: Successful completion of GPS Algebra.)

GPS Algebra SupportUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
The purpose of the Mathematics Support class is to address the needs of students who have traditionally struggled in mathematics by providing the additional time and attention they need in order to successfully complete their regular grade-level mathematics course without failing. Mathematics Support is an elective class that should be taught concurrently with a student’s regular mathematics class. (GA DOE website)
