“The formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.” ― Albert Einstein
This is a year-long course designed to prepare students for entrance into post-secondary courses. This course addresses key learning standards for high school including Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 standards essential for college and career readiness.
The course curriculum emphasizes modeling with mathematics and the Standards for Mathematical Practice found within the Washington K-12 Mathematics Learning Standards (the Common Core state standards). Topics include building and interpreting functions (linear, quadratic, and exponential), writing, solving, and reasoning with equations and inequalities, and summarizing, representing, and interpreting data. The course is designed to focus on building conceptual understanding, reasoning and mathematical skills and provides students with engaging mathematics that builds flexible thinking and a growth mindset.
