Math I
Course Abstract
This course is the first in a four-year integrated Math
program. Investigations of real-life contexts lead to the discovery
of important mathematical concepts and, in turn, enable students
to make sense out of new situations and problems. The course features
multiple ideas from four strands: algebra and functions, geometry
and trigonometry, statistics and probability, and discrete mathematics.
Unit One - Exponential Models
Students develop the ability to use exponential functions to
model and solve problems in situations which exhibit exponential
growth or decay.
- EALR's:
- Math
1. understands and applies the concepts and procedures of mathematics
1.1 understand and apply concepts and procedures from number
sense
2. uses mathematics to define and solve problems
2.1 investigate situations (search for patterns)
2 .2 formulate questions and define the problem
2.3 construct solutions
3. uses mathematical reasoning
3.1 analyze information
3.2 predict results and make inferences
3.3 verify results
4. communicates knowledge and understanding in both everyday
and mathematical language by
4.1 gathering information
4.2 organizing and interpreting information
4.3 representing and sharing information
5. understands how mathematical ideas connect with mathematics,
to other subject areas, and to real-life situations by:
5.1 relating concepts and procedures within mathematics
5.2 relating mathematical concepts and procedures to other disciplines
5.3 relating mathematical concepts and procedures to real-life
situations
Unit Two - Patterns in Space and Visualization
Students develop visualization skills and an understanding of
the properties of space-shapes including symmetry, area, and volume.

solve problems in situations which exhibit constant (or nearly
constant) rate of change or slope.
