It focuses on the development of functions and the understanding of functional relationships. Students will participate in developing tables, coordinate graphing, algebraic analysis and linear and quadratic equations and their graphs using appropriate technology. This course is an introduction to plane, solid, and coordinate geometry as a deductive science. It builds on algebraic foundations and connects to the real world through a variety of applications and settings. Students have regular and appropriate access to technology as they work with geometric constructions, coordinate graphing, algebraic analysis, and computation.
Students do research on special topics in the honors class.
This course is an extension of the study of the real number field. It is recommended that students complete Geometry before enrolling in this course. In this course, students use algebraic, graphical, and geometric reasoning to recognize patterns and structure to model information and solve problems. Students will model and solve real-life problems involving money, data, chance, patterns, music, design, and science. Students will use a variety of representations, tools, and technology to link modeling techniques with mathematical concepts to solve applied problems.
