IM1H Course Description

This year-long course will formalize and extend mathematics that students learned in the middle grades in the five conceptual categories. Specifically, students will focus on the six critical areas of Integrated Math I as identified by the California Department of Education: (1) extend understanding of numerical manipulation to algebraic manipulation; (2) synthesize understanding of function; (3) deepen and extend understanding of linear relationships; (4) apply linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend; (5) establish criteria for congruence based on rigid motions; and (6) apply the Pythagorean Theorem to the coordinate plane. This course develops strong connections between the content standards and the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice as students engage in mathematical tasks. The Standards for Mathematical Practice complement the content standards so that students increasingly engage with the subject matter as they grow in mathematical maturity and expertise.

This course will enhance and add depth towards a greater level of rigor for students as compared to Integrated Mathematics 1C. A student who successfully completes this course will enroll in an Integrated Math II course the following year. Successful completion of this course earns GUHSD math credit. This course meets the University of California “c” mathematics requirement.
