Course Information

Course: Integrated Math 3

Prerequisite: Math 2 or Geometry

Content: Integrated Math courses emphasize the teaching of mathematics as problem solving, communication, and reasoning, and emphasize the connections among mathematical topics and between mathematics and other disciplines. The multi-year sequence of Integrated Math replaces the traditional Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II sequence of courses, and will cover the following topics during a three year sequence: algebra, functions, geometry from both a synthetic and an algebraic perspective, trigonometry, statistics and probability, discrete mathematics, the conceptual underpinnings of calculus, and mathematical structure.

Integrated Math 3 will focus mostly on the analysis of functions and their graphs. In connection with this main idea, the main concepts covered throughout the year will be: the number system; advanced modeling and transformations; expressions and equations; Exponential growth and financial topics; and trigonometry. During the course of the year students will be expected to learn about and display the 8 key characteristics of a mathematician. These are: making sense of problems and persevere in solving them; reason abstractly and quantitatively; construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others; model with mathematics; use appropriate tools strategically; attend to precision; look for and make use of structure; and finally look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Grading Procedure: Grades are based on total points and will be assessed using growth based skills tests, perfomance based problem solving tests and daily work which includes participation.

Google Classroom: Students have access to resources and materials through Google Classroom as well as their eBook. If they would like to read the online Homework Help it is located here.
