Integrated Math I (Honors)

Integrated Math I is a fully accredited, Common Core-aligned course that builds on the foundations developed in Prealgebra. Upon completing the course, students will build a solid base for success in Integrated Math II and beyond.

Overview

Outcomes

Content

In this course, students broaden their understanding of equations and inequalities, delivering into one-variable equations with unknown coefficients, two-variable linear equations and inequalities, systems of equations, and nonlinear equations. They will learn how to apply their knowledge to model a variety of situations. Students will also deepen their understanding of units and discover how to think of them algebraically and use them to solve problems.

This course marks the beginning of students' journey into the world of functions. They will explore key concepts such as domain, range, roots, extrema, and end-behavior. Furthermore, they will apply this newfound knowledge to study specific function types, namely exponential, absolute value, and piecewise functions, creating a solid foundation for analyzing more advanced functions in future courses.

For the first time, students will encounter polynomials. They will become proficient in terminology associated with one-variable polynomials and master fundamental polynomial operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and factoring.

Building upon their prior understanding of sequences, students will learn to work with formal sequence notation, delve into recursive sequences, and master arithmetic sequences.

This course also introduces various critical geometric concepts. Students will become adept at performing geometric transformations in the coordinate plane and will be able to describe their functional representations. In addition, they will study essential geometric principles, such as the Pythagorean theorem, special right triangles, circles, and the distance formula.

Lastly, students will learn the fundamentals of linear correlation, emphasizing the important distinction between correlation and causation.

By the end of this comprehensive course, students will have significantly enhanced their mathematical skills and knowledge, equipping them for more advanced studies in mathematics.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will have mastered the following:
