Review of Rational Numbers and Algebraic ConceptsThis unit is a review of essential skills and concepts that have been covered in 6th - 8th grades and are required as a foundation for starting Algebra I. One-Variable Equations and InequalitiesStudents will build their knowledge of how inverse operations are used to solve linear equations and inequalities. This unit provides a basis for all future higher-level mathematics. Introduction to Linear FunctionsThe overall purpose of this unit is to build student understanding and application of functions.
Algebra 1B
Linear Functions and GraphingThis unit introduces functions with two variables, or linear functions. Non-Linear FunctionsNot all relationships are linear functions. The focus of this unit is to introduce the student to other types of functions. Systems of Linear Equations and InequalitiesKnowledge of how to solve systems of equations or inequalities will become especially useful in higher-level math and science classes, such as Algebra II, Chemistry, or Physics. This unit demonstrates different methods for solving systems of equations and inequalities and models how systems can be applied contextually.
Algebra 2A
PolynomialsThis unit explores polynomial expressions, basic operations, and factoring. Quadratic Functions and EquationsQuadratic equations are quite common in algebra and much of higher mathematics. This unit focuses on the importance of knowing how to perform basic operations with them.
Algebra 2B
Quadratic FormulaThis method used to solve quadratic equations is often used when an equation cannot be easily factored. Exponential FunctionsStudents will further their concept of functions and graphing with the introduction of exponential functions. Data Analysis and StatisticsLastly, this unit focuses on developing a set of tools and deepening students’ understanding of statistics and probability concepts first introduced in Grades 6, 7, and 8.
Geometry 1
Lines and AnglesThis unit offers a review of geometry skills and terms developed during elementary school. Properties of angles, lines and transversals will be examined, along with an introduction to proofs. TransformationsStudents will understand how rigid motions such as translations, reflections, and rotations preserve original lengths and distances after transformations. Properties of AnglesThis unit reviews properties and theorems of triangles. Triangle Congruence and SimilarityIn the last section, students will be exposed to the concepts of triangle congruence and similarity. They will connect prior understanding of theorems to formulate proofs.
Geometry 2
TrigonometryStudents will build an intuitive understanding of the ratios that exist within right triangles. Polygons and the Coordinate PlaneThis unit introduces the coordinate plane as a tool to prove simple geometric theorems about polygons. CirclesStudents will study circles more completely than before. They will examine the relationships between lines, segments, angles and arcs associated with circles. Dimensional GeometryStudents will expand their pre-existing knowledge of three- dimensional figures. They will explore volume, as well as develop an understanding the effects of changing dimensions of a 3-D figure. Probability and StatisticsStudents will go further in depth to understand how data is gathered and used to make decisions. They will explore the use of tables and diagrams to display data, as well as calculate probability using a variety of rules.
