Topics of Study

This year, students will work through eight topics of study, which will fully prepare them for Pre-Calculus. 

• Graphing Functions. Students will review graphing topics from Integrated Math 2.  This will include parent functions and basic transformations with a focus on absolute value and quadratic functions.

• Writing Equations. Students will write equations based on real world scenarios and apply their understanding of quadratics and systems of equations. 

• Polynomial Functions. Students will do an extensive study of polynomials including basic operations, factoring, end behavior, and graphing.

• Rational Exponents and Radical Functions. Students will understand the connection between rational exponents and radical functions and use their skills to simplify, solve, and graph radical functions.

• Sequences and Series.  Students will explore patterns in sequences and series to write equations and solve real world problems. 

• Exponential and Logarithmic Function. Students will explore exponential and logarithmic functions by graphing and solving complex problems. 

• Rational Functions. Students will simplify, solve, and graph rational expressions and equations. 

• Trigonometry. Students will learn basics about trigonometry including radians/degrees, coterminal angles, unit circle, evaluating, and graphing. 

• Statistics. Students will explore normal distribution, data collection, and confidence intervals.
