INTEGRATED MATH I - 8 (Period 3) Assignments

Class overview

The Integrated I course is the first course in a five-year sequence of college preparatory mathematics courses that starts with Integrated I and continues through Calculus. Its purpose is to help students deepen their understanding from previous courses by focusing on developing fluency with solving linear equations, inequalities, and systems, and then extending them to solving simple exponential equations, exploring linear and exponential functions graphically, numerically, symbolically, and as sequences.  Students will also be using regression techniques to analyze the fit of models to distributions of data.

Class structure

Following the Common Core Standards, this class will focus around collaborative learning by investigating, discussing and discovering the different math concepts, while working in teams. Students will use problem-solving strategies, questioning, investigating, analyzing critically, gathering and constructing evidence, and communicating different arguments justifying their thinking. 

Assessments will take different forms, both formally and informally, and will include team, individual tests. The only way students will master the concepts is by being actively involved in their learning. I will be available for guiding, supporting and summarizing at all times during class, during lunch and after school.
