Welcome Back!!
IM Math 8 is an integrated course that includes algebra and geometry.
8th-grade math acts as a vital bridge, transitioning you from basic arithmetic to the core principles of high school algebra and geometry. Throughout the year, students will master linear equations, explore the concept of mathematical functions, and use the Pythagorean theorem to solve geometric puzzles. They will also dive into data analysis by creating scatter plots and modeling real-world trends using lines of best fit. Ultimately, this course builds the analytical toolkit and problem-solving skills necessary for success in higher-level mathematics.
Open Up Honors Integrated Math 2 is an integrated (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability) course.
Integrated Math 2 blends algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and probability into a single unified curriculum. The course primarily focuses on exploring quadratic functions and complex numbers, proving geometric theorems regarding similarity and circles, and introducing right triangle trigonometric ratios.
*This level is a tenth grade math equivalent course so students will take semester finals and a performance task, aligned with APS high school graduation requirements.
FAQ:
-Can I earn high school credit (towards the four I need to graduate high school in APS)?
Yes in Integrated 1 and 2. You'll need to show proficiency throughout the year and pass the semester finals.
-What if I need more help or practice?
You can find your own videos, explanations and practice on IXL or Khan Academy. You can also see me after school or email me to help you find resources.
-My quiz was not great... What should I do?
IF you have put in effort in and out of class, you have an opportunity. You should identify misunderstandings and explain them as well as make corrections to earn up to half of the points back (if you earned less than 70%). Do this within a week. See more details on the 'Newsletter' tab.
-Can I use my phone in class? Can I listen to music?
No phones out at all and no earbuds either. We are always active in learning math.
New school policy is first offense: taken for the day, second offense: Asked to be kept home. *This shouldn't be an issue because we'll be using Yondr pouches to lock up smart devices during the day.
