Proficiency in algebra is helpful. The primary goal is to teach students to think logically through mathematical reasoning. Proof of geometric properties is emphasized. I is a prerequisite. This course is intended to give a basic knowledge of trigonometry by using the circular function approach.
Some emphasis is placed on proving identities.
The last four chapters are pre-calculus material. Geometry and algebra II are prerequisites. The overall course includes material that focuses on arithmetic operations, problem solving techniques, estimation of answers, measurement skills, geometry, data handling, simple statistics, and use of algebraic formulas to solve problems. Main emphasis is on the ability to understand and apply functional mathematics to solve problems in the world of work. Integrated Mathematics 2 starts where Integrated Mathematics leaves off.
