Course Overview

Integrated Math 1 B is the second course in the Integrated Math 1 sequence, designed to solidify students' understanding of algebra, geometry, and statistics through an emphasis on real-world application. Building on the foundation established in Integrated Math 1 A, this course deepens mathematical reasoning and introduces students to more advanced skills in problem-solving, analysis, and communication of mathematical ideas.

Key Learning Focus

Students will:

• Extend their work with linear and exponential relationships and their applications.
• Develop geometric reasoning through constructions, transformations, and modeling.
• Explore statistical analysis, interpreting and drawing conclusions from data.
• Apply functions and equations to model and solve real-world problems.

Instructional Approach

The course emphasizes active, project-based learning, encouraging students to:

• Solve complex equations and systems.
• Analyze and interpret functions.
• Engage in hands-on geometric constructions.
• Connect concepts across mathematical domains to solve authentic, interdisciplinary problems.

This approach strengthens mathematical fluency while fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills that extend beyond mathematics into other academic and career pathways.

Academic Alignment

Integrated Math 1 B is a semester-long, standards-aligned course within the 9–12 Mathematics Program. It meets both state and national mathematics requirements and provides the bridge to Integrated Math 2 and other advanced courses in the Integrated Math series.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of Integrated Math 1 B, students will be fully prepared to advance to Integrated Math 2 and pursue higher-level mathematics. They will gain the confidence and competence to succeed in a variety of STEM fields, including engineering, data science, finance, and technology. Together, Integrated Math 1 A and 1 B form a comprehensive foundation for future academic achievement and career readiness.
