Mathematics I

Mathematics I, Semester A, is a single-semester course designed to present mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of problem-solving skills. Linear relationships are a main focus of this course. You will graph, create, and solve linear equations and apply function notation to describe linear relationships. You will also explore foundations of geometry and coordinate geometry. You will investigate and prove theorems about lines, angles, triangles, parallelograms, and other polygons and build geometric constructions using both basic tools and technology.

Mathematics I, Semester B, is a single-semester course designed to deepen and extend your understanding of linear relationships. You will begin by writing and solving systems of linear equations and inequalities. You will investigate exponential relationships, compare these to linear relationships, and solve equations with linear and exponential expressions. You will represent, compare, and analyze data sets in a variety of contexts. At the end of this course, you will explore rigid and non-rigid transformations of figures in the coordinate plane and use them to establish congruence of polygons.
