314100TW Grade Level: 9 314200TW Grade Level: 10

This course will cover the material that is presented in the first half of Algebra 1 with an emphasis on application. To ensure success in this course, students should have mastered previously taught math and pre-algebra skill.  The content of this course will include writing relationships involving the real number system; performing operations with whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers; writing and solving equations and formulas; and solving applied statistical problems.

This course is a continuation of Math Tech 1. It will cover linear equations and inequalities, graphing, factoring, exponential laws, operations with polynomials, rational and irrational numbers, quadratic equations, exponential equations, problem solving, systems of equations, and explaining the relationship between a function or relation and their graphs.

314300TW Grade Level: 11 314400TW Grade Level: 12

This course will cover skills in geometry that will be taught through an integrative approach.  Realistic workplace problem solving and application will be emphasized.  Investigative tools such as scientific calculators, graphing calculators, and/or computers with dynamic interactive software used throughout the year will explore the realistic workplace problems.  Logic and deductive reasoning will be examined, but with less emphasis on proofs.

This course will emphasize the application of probability, statistics, and data analysis.  The topics of statistics will include graphs, mean, median, standard deviation, normal distribution, confidence interval, and hypothesis testing.  Students will engage in activities in which they collect, organize, display, describe, summarize, and make inferences about data.  Statistical theory will be explored, but the focus of the class will be the application of statistical processes, especially to a workplace or manufacturing environment and the use of technology through the graphing calculators.
