Troy School District

This course addresses the critical areas of: congruence, proof, and constructions; similarity and trigonometry; circles; three-dimensional figures; and probability of compound events. Transformations and deductive reasoning are common threads throughout the course. Students build on their conceptual understanding of rigid transformations established in middle school as they formally define each and then, use them to prove theorems about lines, angles, and triangle congruency. Rigid transformations are also used to establish relationships between two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures. Students use their knowledge of proportional reasoning and dilations to develop a formal definition for similarity of figures. They apply their understanding of similarity to defining trigonometric ratios and radian measure. Students also make algebraic connections as they use coordinate algebra to verify properties of figures in the coordinate plane and write equations of parabolas and circles. Throughout the course, students investigate properties of figures, make conjectures, and prove theorems. Students demonstrate their reasoning by completing proofs in a variety of formats. The standards of mathematical practice are embedded throughout the course as students apply geometric concepts in modeling situations, make sense of problem situations, solve novel problems, reason abstractly, and think critically. Semester 1 - CLASSES THAT ARE 1/2 CREDIT (1/2 CREDIT = 1 SEMESTER), BOTH SEMESTERS ARE NEEDED IN ORDER TO FULFILL THE YEAR CREDIT.

This course dynamically explores the people, places, and events that shaped early United States history. Units include Earlier Eras of US History, Industrialization and the Gilded Age, Progressivism and Reform, Imperialism and the Great War, and The Depression and the New Deal. Issues are analyzed from economic, social, and political perspectives. Students will learn critical-thinking skills by examining how our history has affected relationships between the United States and other nations and among the branches of government, levels of government, and groups of citizens here at home. Recurring themes such as territorial expansion and the significance of slavery will be examined. Semester 1 - CLASSES THAT ARE 1/2 CREDIT (1/2 CREDIT = 1 SEMESTER), BOTH SEMESTERS ARE NEEDED IN ORDER TO FULFILL THE YEAR CREDIT. (Generally taken as a 10th grader)

SESSION DATES June 27 - August 26 This opportunity is ONLY for existing TSD high school students who have been invited to participate in the TSD High School Credit Recovery Program. You will have the opportunity to regain credit for courses you earned a NC (No Credit), E or H grade in. Letter grades will NOT be given. Only courses needed for graduation will be offered. Please note that not all courses that we offer in our schools are available through this online program. We are not able to offer credit recovery courses for many of our electives and some core classes only have one offering. Please refer to invitation email for a list of courses available. Students may enroll in no more than three courses this summer. Students must meet with counselor, assistant principal, or principal for course selection questions. This program will be available from June 27 - August 26 online with support from a mentor teacher. To receive credit, students are required to complete their course(s) by August 26. Students must consistently participate in their course(s) and communicate regularly with their mentor teacher or they may be dropped from the program. Once a student successfully completes the credit recovery course, the NC (No Credit), H or E on the student’s transcript will be replaced with a CR (Credit) or G. Letter grades will NOT be given. All COVID CR information is posted in the COVID CR Google Drive (link at troyceonline.com). For questions about Edgenuity/account login issues, please email Jeff Williams (Summer School Principal) at jwilliams@troy.k12.mi.us. For all other questions (drop, change, confirm courses), please email Katie Hancock (Summer School Secretary) at khancock@troy.k12.mi.us. Please see regular High School Summer School offerings for new credit, audit or regular credit recovery (Earned C, D, or E previously in course - letter grades will be given) options.
