Prerequisite: Completion of Math 8 CCSS

This course follows and approach typically seen internationally (integrated) which is the first year of a three year sequence which integrates, conceptual categories of number and quantity, algebra, functions, geometry, modeling and probability and statistics, preparing students with the body of knowledge students should learn in each category to be college ready and to be prepared to study more advanced mathematics.

Computer Science Applied Algebra

Prerequisites: Completion of Math 8 CCSS (Required)

In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of International Math I while being introduced to the level of mathematical precision and abstraction required in college preparatory mathematics. With an emphasis on applications and modeling, students will understand the concept of variables and functions, geometry, modeling and probability, statistics, and will become familiar with several different families of functions. Students will learn to interpret and solve linear and quadratic equations using multiple representations and methods - including graphs, data tables, equation, and statements. students will use the properties of mathematics to convert between equivalent forms of expressions and equations, and understand the different applications for different forms. Students will also become familiar with the properties of exponents and exponential functions.

10th Grade

3023 International Math II (P) - Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 - UC, CSU Year

Prerequisite: Successful completion of International Math I with a grade of C or better

This course is the second of the three-course integrated sequence. The overall focus of the course is to (1) extend the laws of exponents to rational exponents: (2) compare key characteristics of quadratic functions with those of linear and exponential functions; (3) create and solve equations and inequalities involving linear, exponential, and quadratic expressions; (4) extend work and probability; and (5) establish criteria for similarity of triangles based on dilations and proportional reasoning.

11th Grade

3030 International Math III (P) - Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 - UC, CSU Year

Prerequisite: Successful completion of International Math II with a grade of C or better

This course is the third of the three-course integrated sequence. This full-year standards-based course will cover the state prescribed curriculum for Mathematics 3 (Integrated Pathway). This course emphasizes work with families of functions, transformations of functions, logarithmic, exponential and trigonometric functions; comparing their behaviors and characteristics to quadratic relationships from Mathematics 2. This course also includes standards from the conceptual categories of Number and Quantity, Algebra Functions, Geometry, and Statistics and Probability.

3035 International Math III Honors (H) - Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 - UC, CSU Year

Prerequisite: Successful completion of International Math II Honors with a grade of B+ or better

International Math III Honors is an enhanced third course of the three-course integrated sequence. This course includes understanding how the different areas of mathematics are related, and how mathematics makes sense, is relevant, and is useful in understanding the real world. Students will become critical thinkers and gain tools necessary in any field that requires problem solving.

3100 Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus (P) - Grades 11, 12 - UC, CSU Year

Prerequisite: Completion of Algebra II and Geometry with a grade of "C" or better.

Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus is an intensive course that blends together the techniques, concepts, and skills of both Algebra and Geometry that students have previously learned. Facility with these functions as well as being able to prove basic identities regarding them is especially important for students intending to study Calculus, more advanced mathematics, Physics and other sciences, and engineering in college. A functional approach integrating as many concepts as possible is used throughout the course.
