SHELTERED ALGEBRA I
ESM-3041/3042
Length/Credit: One Year, 1 credit
Prerequisite: None, Open to grade 9-12
Graduation Requirement: Math
This course focuses on linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships. Investigations will include an emphasis on the algebraic manipulation of expressions, equations, and inequalities; on systems of equations and inequalities; and representing equations, including graphing, transformations, and modeling functions. This course will include a review of operations with real numbers and a focus on linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships based on data. Modeling based on investigated data and problem solving with various tools will be used.
SHELTERED GEOMETRY
ESM-3071/3072
Length/Credit: One Year, 1 credit
Prerequisite: Sheltered Algebra I, Open to grade 9-12
This course will follow the national common core standards by: using geometric terminology in written and oral communications; demonstrate reasoning skills using logic and proofs: demonstrate understanding of parallel and perpendicular lines and angles; demonstrate problem-solving strategies to find measurements of polygons and circles; demonstrate an understanding of geometric constructions; discover relationships of geometric shapes and data generated by technology; solve formulas to find the areas and volumes of plane and solid figures; use trigonometric relationships to find lengths and angles of right triangles; explore properties of transformations; apply statistical reasoning to problem solving.
