Mathematical Models with Applications - MMA: (1 credit) In Mathematical Models with Applications, studentsis designed to build on the knowledge and skills for mathematics and provides a path for students to succeed in Algebra II and prepares them for various post-secondary choices. Students learn to apply mathematics through experiences in personal finance, science, engineering, fine arts, and social sciences. Students use algebraic, graphical, and geometric reasoning to recognize patterns and structure, model information, solve problems, and communicate solutions. Students will select from tools such as physical objects; manipulatives; technology, including graphing technology, data collection devices, and computers; and paper and pencil and from methods such as algebraic techniques, geometric reasoning, patterns, and mental math to solve problems. • Prerequisite: Geometry
Algebraic Reasoning: (1 credit) In Algebraic Reasoning, students will build on the knowledge and skills for mathematics and, continue with the development of mathematical reasoning related to algebraic understandings and processes, and deepen a foundation for studies in subsequent mathematics courses. Students will broaden their knowledge of functions and relationships, including linear, quadratic, square root, rational, cubic, cube root, exponential, absolute value, and logarithmic functions. Students will study these functions through analysis and application that includes explorations of patterns and structure, number and algebraic methods, and modeling from data using tools that build to workforce and college readiness such as probes, measurement tools, and software tools, including spreadsheets. Students will use technology, specifically graphing technology, to collect and explore data. • Prerequisite: Geometry
Statistics L: (1 credit) In Statistics, students will build on the knowledge and skills for mathematics and will broaden their knowledge of variability and statistical processes. Students will study sampling and experimentation, categorical and quantitative data, probability and random variables, inference, and bivariate data. Students will connect data and statistical processes to real-world situations. In addition, students will extend their knowledge of data analysis. Students will use technology, specifically graphing technology, to collect and explore data. • Prerequisite: Geometry
