Integrated Mathematics 1 and Information Communication Technologies
Mathematics
This course is designed for students who value applications of integrated concepts of mathematics and have a desire for a career in computer programming. This course focuses on formalizing and extending the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. As students research, analyze, and modify existing programming code and develop their own systems of coding through the platform, Scratch, students understand the elements of creating games and simulations. The course's critical areas are organized into units by deepening and extending understanding of linear relationships, in part contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. In addition, the course uses properties and theorems involving congruent figures to deepen and extend understanding of gemetric knowledge from prior grades. This course centers on the depth and complexity of enduring mathematical understanding through the unit programming projects. 0960, 0960PC *^ 0960PD Special Ed 0964 Academy*^
Integrated Mathematics 2 and Information Communication Technologies This course focuses on formalizing and extending the mathematics that students learned in the previous course, IM 1/ICT. The content includes the concepts of extending number systems, interpreting quadratic functions and modeling, evaluating and interpreting the structure of expressions, applying diverse forms of probabilities, applying and interpreting similarity, right triangle Trigonometry and proof, and focusing on circles with and without coordinates. The multifaceted course content includes Algebra 2, Geoemtry, Statistics and Probability, and Trigonometry. As students research, apply, and synthesize the existing programming code and develop their own systems of coding through the platform, Scratch, students understand and enhance programming languages, create intelligently designed simulations that educate, engage players, interpret, and discover the correlation between terms used in IT coding languages and mathematics. This course centers on the depth and complexity of enduring mathematical understanding through six units of programming projects. Understanding and gaining proficiency in two pathways of ICT, students also explore various ethical issues around the twenty-first century's increasingly rapid development of technology and its cultural impact on society.
