Course Overview

Integrated Math 1 A is the first course in the Integrated Math sequence, introducing students to the essential building blocks of high school mathematics. This robust, standards-aligned course weaves together concepts from algebra, geometry, and statistics, emphasizing both conceptual understanding and practical application.

Key Learning Focus

Students will:

• Explore linear and exponential relationships and their representations.
• Solve and interpret systems of equations in multiple contexts.
• Develop a foundation in descriptive statistics and data interpretation.
• Investigate geometric transformations and the concept of congruence.

Instructional Approach

The course emphasizes active learning and project-based activities. Students will:

• Analyze and graph linear equations and inequalities.
• Evaluate and interpret statistical data sets.
• Apply geometric reasoning to solve authentic, real-world problems.

These experiences foster critical thinking, logical reasoning, and effective problem-solving skills, while also highlighting the connections between mathematics and potential career paths.

Academic Alignment

Integrated Math 1 A is a semester-long, core course in the 9–12 Mathematics Program, fully aligned with state and national standards. It serves as the foundation for Integrated Math 1 B and subsequent courses in the Integrated Math pathway.

Outcome

Upon successful completion, students will be prepared to progress into Integrated Math 1 B and beyond. This course not only lays the groundwork for college-level mathematics but also develops essential skills for careers in fields such as engineering, finance, computer science, and data analysis. Integrated Math 1 A marks an important step in preparing students for future success in both academic and professional settings.
