NOTE: Only students with a recommendation from Mr. Guinn at the middle school or the high school math department will be accepted. Students will develop the skills and confidence necessary to succeed in the high school integrated mathematics curriculum. Numeric sequences and patterns will be analyzed. Students will learn how to solve linear equations and compare different forms of linear graphs, equations, and tables. Linear functions are also related to proportions and ratios and combined in linear systems. The course will also explore inequalities, laws of exponents, and offer an introduction to exponential functions. Finally, students will familiarize with the coordinate plane, graphing equations and critically thinking about how geometric shapes behave based on rules of coordinate geometry. Other concepts will be examined as per student needs.
