Course Description:
Math course 2 is an integrated curriculum molded on the international math pathway and is the second course in he 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 2 will primarily focus on three main topics: Quadratic Functions and equations, Geometry and probability. In the quadratic units, instructional time will focus on (1) Modeling with quadratic and (2) Solving Quadratic Equations. The Geometry units will cover (1) coordinate geometry (2) Similarity and (3) geometric modeling. The probability unit will leave students with the ability to (1) describe events as subsets of a sample space (2) Understand how two events A and B are independent, and (3) calculate conditional Probabilities.
Math course 2 is also offered in an EL section for students who are currently learning English.
Scope and Sequence
In Ms. Polo's Math 2 EL class, students use their knowledge of right triangle trigonometry to solve context problems by writing a comic strip! This activity also gave her students learning English the opportunity to practice their English reading and writing skills.
