Math - Freshmen

INTEGRATED GEOMETRY (205/206)

Grades 9-12:  Level 2 and Honors

(Year) 1.50 credits

Level 2 Prerequisites: Successful completion of Integrated Algebra I

Honors Prerequisites:

1.  8th grade performance and teacher recommendation

2.  A- or higher in Integrated Algebra I or teacher recommendation

The focus is on quadratic expressions, equations, and functions; comparing their characteristics and behavior to those of linear and exponential relationships from Integrated Algebra I. 

Instructional time will focus on six critical areas: (1) Similarity, Proof, and Trigonometry, (2) Polynomial and Quadratic Expressions, Equations, and Functions, (3) Circles, With and Without Coordinates, (4) Extending to Three Dimensions, (5) Connecting Algebra and Geometry Through Coordinates, (6) Inferences and Conclusions From Data

Honors Option: Students who have met the prerequisites and are able to commit the time and effort to move through the basic concepts at a deeper level of understanding may select the Honors option. 

Instructional time will focus on nine critical areas: (1) Solving and Graphing Linear Functions, (2) Descriptive Statistics, (3) Comparing Linear and Exponential Functions, (4) Congruence, Proof, and Constructions, (5) Similarity, Proof, and Trigonometry, (6) Extending to Three Dimensions (7) Connecting Algebra and Geometry Through Coordinates, (8) Circles, With and Without Coordinates, (9) Polynomial and Quadratic Expressions, Equations, and Functions.
