Integrated Math II

INTEGRATED MATH II College Prep 21302 Honors 21402

5 credits

Prerequisite: Course 1

In both versions of this course, students will deepen and extend their understanding of the algebraic, geometric, and statistical concepts that were addressed in Integrated Math I. Course materials come from the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum and include two of the Algebra 1 units (Introduction to Quadratic Functions; Quadratic Equations) and five of the Geometry units (Similarity; Right Triangle Trigonometry; Solid Geometry; Coordinate Geometry; and Conditional Probability). The Honors version of this course also includes an Algebra 2 unit on Complex Numbers and Rational Exponents and a Geometry unit on Circles.

Emphasis in both versions of this course is placed in six critical areas: (1) extending understanding of numerical manipulation to algebraic manipulation by factoring; (2) creating and solving equations involving quadratic expressions; (3) comparing key characteristics of quadratic functions with those of linear and exponential functions; (4) establishing criteria for similarity of triangles based on dilations and proportional reasoning; (5) using a rectangular coordinate system to verify geometric relationships, such as properties of special triangles and quadrilaterals and slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines; and (6) extending work with probability from middle school.
