Cambridge Program

The Cambridge Program is BCHS’ most rigorous learning experience. The program is designed to deliver breadth across the curriculum and depth in selected subjects. The Cambridge Program produces learners who can think critically, carry out independent research, evaluate arguments, communicate clear and well-reasoned arguments and understand global issues from multiple perspectives. The ultimate learning goal of BCHS’ Cambridge Program is to prepare students for success at college and beyond.

Students who have been accepted into the Cambridge Program have an opportunity to pursue the Cambridge Diploma. The Cambridge AICE Diploma recognizes the achievements of students who have experienced a broad and balanced combination of Cambridge curricula. To qualify for the AICE Diploma candidates must have earned seven AICE exam credits. These must include at least one credit from subject groups 1, 2, and 3 and the required credit from the core. The credit rating of counting qualifications is:

MATHEMATICS

31323 and 31324 Math 1A and Math 1B

Math I students should become fluent in solving characteristic problems involving the analytic geometry of lines, such as finding the equation of a line given a point and a slope. This fluency can support students in solving less routine mathematical problems involving linearity, as well as in modeling linear phenomena (including modeling using systems of linear inequalities in two variables).

Math I students should become fluent in using geometric transformation to represent the relationships among geometric objects. This fluency provides a powerful tool for visualizing relationships, as well as a foundation for exploring ideas both within geometry (e.g., symmetry) and outside of geometry (e.g., transformations of graphs).

Students will be able to create a visual representation of a data set that is useful in understanding possible relationships among variables.After successful completion of this course, students will take Math II.

03133 Math 2

Math II students will gain fluency in graphing functions (including linear, quadratic, and exponential) and interpreting key features of the graphs in terms of their function rules and a table of value, as well as recognizing a relationship (including a relationship within a data set). This forms a critical base for seeing the value and purpose of mathematics, as well as for further study in mathematics. Students will also become fluent in adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials which supports them throughout their work in algebra, as well as in their symbolic work with functions. Manipulation can be more mindful when it is fluent. Fluency with the triangle congruence and similarity criteria will help students throughout their investigations of triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, parallelism, and trigonometric ratios. These criteria are necessary tools in geometric modeling. Course Fee: $5.00 Pre-Requisites: Math 1

03134 Math 3Math III will guide students to look at algebraic manipulation as a meaningful enterprise, in which they seek to understand the structure of an expression or equation and use properties to transform it into forms that provide useful information (e.g., features of a function or solutions to an equation). This perspective will help students continue to usefully apply their mathematical knowledge in a range of situations, whether their continued study leads them toward college or career readiness. Seeing mathematics as a tool to model real-world situations will be an underlying perspective in everything students do, including writing algebraic expressions, creating functions, creating geometric models, and understanding statistical relationships. This perspective will help students appreciate the importance of mathematics as they continue their study of it. In particular, students will be taught to recognize that much of mathematics is concerned with understanding quantities and their relationships. They will be able to pick appropriate units for quantities being modeled, using them as a guide to understand a situation, and be attentive to the level of accuracy that is reported in a solution. Math III students will understand the effects of parameter changes and be able to apply them to create a rule modeling the function
