The Mathematics Department at Terra Linda offers a variety of courses designed to meet each student’s needs and ability.
- Algebra Readiness (Course for English Learners only; supports given to become grade-level proficient)
- Algebra A (1st Semester of Algebra 1, taken freshman year)
- Algebra B (2nd Semester of Algebra 1, taken sophomore year)
- Algebra 1 (Full course offered in 1 year)
- Geometry (Full year Geometry course)
- Geometry Honors (Full year Geometry course for students interested in STEM pathway; heavier emphasis on Coordinate Geometry and proofs)
- Intermediate Algebra 2 (2nd year UC Algebra course for non-math/science pathway; Seniors have priority enrollment)
- Algebra 2 (2nd year UC Algebra course)
- Algebra 2 Honors (2nd year UC Algebra course for Calculus pathway)
- Algebra 2 Honors/Pre-Calculus Honors Double-Block Course (Exclusively for Juniors entering Algebra 2 interested in Calculus pathway; course requires 2 periods of math in scheduling, one odd period and one even period).
- Pre-Calculus (Intended for STEM or non-STEM majors. May be a terminal course; can also serves as an alternative to Statistics)
- Pre-Calculus Honors (Intended for STEM majors and students who will be taking Calculus)
- Statistics (Emphasis on probability and hands-on activities)
- AP Calculus (Advanced Placement in College level Calculus AB course)
