MATHEMATICS - INSTRUCTIONAL
INTEGRATED MATH 1 INSTRUCTIONAL –SE1304
Length of course:
One Year
Credit:
1.0 Credit
Grade Placement: 9
Prerequisite:
None
State Course Code:
02301A000
Course Description: Integrated Math 1 involves the study of linear and exponential functions (with domains in the integers), including application and interpretation of statistics and realworld
situations. Students reason about functions and the number and nature of solutions to equations, systems of equations, inequalities and systems of inequalities. Students define
congruence using transformational geometry. Students apply transformations to linear, exponential, piece-wise, absolute value, square root and cube root functions. They explore these
function types represented algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, and by verbal descriptions. This is the first of three required math courses for college and career readiness. (Note:
A calculator is required. A graphing calculator is recommended and a fraction calculator is acceptable.)
INTEGRATED MATH 2 INSTRUCTIONAL– SE1310
Length of course:
One Year
Credit:
1.0 Credit
Grade Placement: 9, 10, 11, or 12
Prerequisite:
Integrated Math 1 or consent of Department Chair
State Code:
02302A000
Course Description: Integrated Math 2 involves the study of quadratic and exponential functions represented algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables and by verbal descriptions.
Students write equivalent radical, rational and quadratic expressions to reveal information using properties of exponents, completing the square, and/or factoring. Students define similarity
using transformational geometry and use this definition to prove geometric theorems. Students learn and apply trigonometric ratios, the Pythagorean Theorem and the relationship between
sine and cosine to solve problems. Students recognize, calculate and use conditional probability and independence. This is the second of three required math courses for college and career
readiness. (Note: A calculator is required. A graphing calculator is recommended and a fraction calculator is acceptable.)
INTEGRATED MATH 3 INSTRUCTIONAL - SE1316
Length of course:
One Year
Credit:
1.0 Credit
Grade Placement: 11
Prerequisite:
Integrated Math 2 or consent of the Department Chairperson
State Code:
02303A000
Course Description: Integrated Math 3 involves the study of polynomial, rational, logarithmic and trigonometric functions represented algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables and by
verbal descriptions. Students write equivalent polynomial, rational, trigonometric and logarithmic expressions to reveal information and key features. Students make geometric constructions
and apply geometric concepts and trigonometric ratios to describe, model and solve problems. Students distinguish among sample surveys, experiments and observational studies to
determine and interpret data. This is the third of three required math courses for college and career readiness. Students who complete this course will be considered to be college and
career ready. (A graphing calculator is required.)
SCIENCE – INSTRUCTIONAL
BIOLOGY INSTRUCTIONAL – SE2501C
Length of course:
One Year
Credit:
1.0 Credit
Grade Placement: 9
Prerequisite:
None
State Code:
03051A000
Course Description: This is a general biology course that includes the study of the scientific method, tools used in biology and the metric system, all of which are used throughout the year.
Students use laboratory instruments and are required to develop sound laboratory techniques. Laboratory work is designed to be both procedural, to reinforce concepts learned in class, as
well as inquiry based in nature. Ecology and the ecosystem are studied. The cell and its cycle, genetics and genetic engineering, general chemistry (as it relates to biology), classification
and the human body and analyzed in this course. Critical thinking skills and reading and writing strategies are emphasized in all topics throughout the course.
INTEGRATED SCIENCE INSTRUCTIONAL – SE1526
Length of course:
One Year
Credit:
1.0 Credit
Grade Placement: 10
Prerequisite:
N
one
State Code:
03159A000
Course Description: This course will provide the necessary foundation for students who will be moving into chemistry. This course will contain units for chemistry, physics and earth science.
While the primary emphasis will be descriptive, math skills will be used for problem solving. Topics include the scientific method, the atom, chemical reactions, forces, motion, electricity,
waves, plate tectonics and astronomy.
