Our programs can be considered stand alone or as a supplement to another program. Here’s the high school credit equivalency break-down:
Practical Math Foundation (Tiers 1 and 2):
- .5 Credit Pre-Algebra
- .5 Credit Algebra I
- .5 Credit Geometry I
- .5 Credit Trigonometry (Practical)
Tier 3 (3 Parts):
- .5 Credit Algebra I (earned in Tier 3 Part 1)
- .5 Credit Geometry I (earned in Tier 3 Part 1)
- .5 Credit Consumer Math (earned in Tier 3 Part 2)
- .5 Credit Quantitative Reasoning (earned in Tier 3 Part 2)
- 0 Credit SAT Test Prep (earned in Tier 3 Part 3)
Tier 4:
- 1 Credit Algebra II
- 1 Credit Geometry II (Analytical Geometry)
- 1 Credit Trigonometry I (Pre-Calculus)
Tier 5:
- 1 Credit of Calculus I (Differential Calculus)
- 1 Credit of Calculus II (Integral Calculus)
In summary…
If a student goes through Tier 5, they will have earned the equivalent of 8.5 Units in high school math as follows:
- Pre-Algebra – .5 Credit
- Consumer Math – .5 Credit
- Quantitative Reasoning – .5 Credit
- Algebra I – 1 Credit
- Algebra II – 1 Credit
- Geometry I – 1 Credit
- Geometry II (Analytical Geometry) – 1 Credit
- Trigonometry I (Pre-Calculus) – 1 Credit
- Calculus I – 1 Credit
- Calculus II – 1 Credit
The student will also learn concepts not typically covered in a standard high school curriculum such as complex numbers in Tier 4.
In addition, Dr. Del introduces the student to Calculus in Tier 5 in a revolutionary way using Wolfram Alpha which makes both the learning and practice of Calculus much easier than the standard 20th Century approach.
