Students meeting the above criteria take an end of year cumulative assessment for the course they would bypass. A score of 93% or higher on the final exam provides the option to pursue an alternate pathway by advancing to the next course in the mathematics sequence. Best fit placement criteria and procedures are reviewed annually and are subject to revision.

Integrated Mathematics 2 Full Year (Two Semesters) Prerequisites: Integrated Mathematics 1 or equivalent OR best-fit mathematical placement This integrated math course incorporates a strategic interweaving of algebraic and geometric concepts with authentic connections among theory and application, algorithm, and mathematical practices, designed to naturally scaffold the learning of mathematics. The purpose of this course is to reinforce the concepts students learned in Integrated Mathematics 1 while extending into more advanced topics in statistics, algebra, and trigonometry. Students will reason, communicate, and make connections to prepare for mathematics throughout high school and beyond. This integrated math course prepares students to enroll in the next course in the sequence, which is either Integrated Math 3 or Honors Pre-Calculus. Text and Materials: Reveal Math Integrated II; graphing calculator Honors Integrated Mathematics 2 Full Year (Two Semesters) Prerequisites: Integrated Mathematics 1 or equivalent, completion of honors prerequisites OR best-fit mathematical placement In this accelerated course, the more advanced topics of algebra are studied in depth and a thorough treatment of trigonometry is included. There is a strong emphasis placed on the study of functions, which is enhanced through the use of the required TI-83 or 84 graphing calculator. Application of skills to non-routine problems is stressed, and students are introduced to matrices and combinatorics as well as cursory probability and statistics. Text and Materials: Reveal Math Integrated II; graphing calculator Integrated Mathematics 3 Full Year (Two Semesters) Prerequisites: Integrated Mathematics 2 or equivalent OR best-fit mathematical placement In this course, a variety of algebraic concepts are reviewed, introduced, and investigated, and the topics of trigonometry are studied comprehensively. Complex numbers are incorporated into the study of polynomial equations, and exponential, logarithmic, rational, and trigonometric functions are explored in great depth. Students will view these topics from algebraic, numeric, and graphic perspectives, and opportunities will be given to draw connections to problems and concepts learned in previous algebra courses.

Integrated Mathematics 1 Full Year (Two Semesters) Prerequisites: None
This integrated math course incorporates a strategic interweaving of algebraic and geometric concepts with authentic connections among theory and application, algorithm, and mathematical practices, designed to naturally scaffold the learning of mathematics. The purpose of this course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in Middle School with an emphasis on learning geometric concepts through algebraic application, reasoning and modeling. Students will reason, communicate, and make connections to prepare for mathematics throughout high school and beyond. This integrated math course prepares students to enroll in the next course in the sequence, Integrated Mathematics 2.
