The Oakmont HS Mathematics Department seeks to provide an excellent mathematics education for all students. We work together with our mathematics standards to develop units of study and lessons that are challenging and meaningful. The area of mathematics has so many connections to everyday life and other subjects. Math is often mistaken as just a subject with various formulas and procedures. Mathematics also is a subject built on patterns. Many areas of mathematics were developed due to its connections to areas of the sciences. We provide an environment for students to develop their problem solving, communication, and reasoning skills. The mathematics department is committed to developing critical thinkers and problem solvers.

  • Common Core Integrated Math 1

    Common Core Integrated Math 1

  • ESM Senior Math Experience

    ESM Senior Math Experience

    This course is for college preparatory seniors. Course topics include problem solving, linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, absolute value, and piecewise functions, finance, and systems of equations and inequalities. This course provides a path for students to strengthen understanding of mathematical content defined by Common Core Standards. In addition, completion of this course allows students to enroll in college level math course at Sierra College without a placement test. For students entering California State University at Sacramento (CSUS) who score “conditional” on the EAP test, successful completion of this course eliminates the ELM testing requirement.

  • Pre-Calculus

    Pre-Calculus

    Pre-Calculus is a one-term course designed for college prep students who will learn the knowledge and skills necessary to perform successfully in Calculus. Students will work on becoming proficient in the following areas: the fundamentals of college-level algebra, geometric and algebraic interpretations of functions, linear and quadratic inequalities, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions and their applications, discreet mathematics, and trigonometric functions and their properties. Students will do more in-depth work on limits.

  • AP Calculus AB

    AP Calculus AB

    An advanced placement course designed for university preparatory students. This course provides instruction in the concepts of limits, continuity, derivatives, and anti-derivatives of algebraic functions. The basic concepts in algebra set theory and trigonometry are reviewed briefly before they are used to study limits. As a condition of your enrollment in an Advanced Placement course at OHS students are expected to take the AP Exam offered in May.

  • AP Calculus BC

    AP Calculus BC

    The second course of Calculus includes the study of definite integrals, differentiation and integration of trigonometric, logarithmic, and inverse functions. A score of 3, 4, or 5 on the AP Exam enables students to receive college credit in calculus at selected colleges or universities. As a condition of your enrollment in an Advanced Placement course at OHS students are expected to take the AP Exam offered in May.

  • AP Statistics

    AP Statistics

    The course is designed to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, planning a study, probability and statistical inference. Students who successfully complete the course and examination may receive credit and/or advanced placement for a one-semester introductory college statistics course. As a condition of your enrollment in an Advanced Placement course at OHS students are expected to take the AP Exam offered in May.

  • IB Mathematics HL 1

    IB Mathematics HL 1

    This course is for students with a good background in mathematics and who are competent in a range of analytical and technical skills. Most students will be expecting to include mathematics as a major component of their university studies, either as a subject in its own right or within courses such as physics, engineering and technology. Others may take this subject because they have a strong interest in mathematics and enjoy meeting its challenges and engaging with its problems. Students will study algebra, functions, trigonometry, matrices, vectors, statistics and probability, calculus, and series and differential equations.
