Integrated Math I

INTEGRATED MATH I College Prep 29301 Honors 29401

5 credits

Prerequisite: Grade 8 Math

In both versions of this course, students will deepen and extend their understanding of the algebraic, geometric, and statistical concepts addressed in 8th grade. Course materials come from the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum and include five of the Algebra 1 units (One-Variable Statistics; Linear Equations, Inequalities, and Systems; Two-Variable Statistics; Functions; and Introduction to Exponential Functions) and two of the Geometry units (Constructions and Rigid Transformations; Congruence). The Honors version of this course also includes an Algebra 2 unit on Sequences.

Emphasis in both versions of this course is placed in seven critical areas: (1) deepening and extending understanding of linear relationships; (2) applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend; (3) extending understanding of numerical manipulation to algebraic manipulation by rearranging and collecting terms, applying properties of exponents, and creating equations to describe situations; (4) synthesizing understanding of functions; (5) comparing key characteristics of exponential functions with those of linear functions; (6) creating and solving equations and inequalities involving linear and exponential expressions; and (7) establishing criteria for congruence based on rigid motions.
