Course Description:
Math Course 1 is an integrated curriculum modeled on the international math pathway and is the first course in the JUHSD's three year college prep math sequence. It is A-G approved and aligned to meet Common Core content standards and mathematical practices. Math Course 1 will primarily focus on five main topics: Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Geometry, and Statistics with probability. In the Algebra units, instructional time will focus on (1) Seeing structure in Expression, (2) Creating Equations, and (3) Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities. In the Functions units, this course will be on (1) Congruence and (2) Expressing Geometric Properties with Equations. In the Statistics and Probability units, the concentration will be on Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data.
Math Course 1 is also offered in an EL section for students who are currently learning English.

Activity: Yarn Points, Lines, and Planes
To introduce the ideas of points, lines, and planes, Mr. Tan had students passing a ball of yarn to each other in ABC order. He touched upon how every student is a point and as you throw the yarn to other students, you form segments. Furthermore, telling students that the classroom itself is a plane, that contains all the points (students)
