• Employ problem solving skills effectively

• Demonstrate critical thinking skills

This is the second of the two course integrated mathematics sequence. The content of this course continues incorporating topics from the four strands: Numerical and Proportional Reasoning, Geometry and Measurement, Working with Data: Probability and Statistics, and Algebraic Reasoning: Patterns and Functions. In the first half of the course, algebra skills are developed to include solving multi-step equations and inequalities, graphing and writing equations of lines, basic transformations, working with radicals, and applications of proportions. The second half of the course focuses on geometry topics including angle relationships, congruency, properties of triangles and polygons, right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem, similarity, trigonometry and indirect measurement, and surface area and volume.  Probability and data collection are also investigated.  Use of technology included in this course involves computer software, Internet, calculators and graphing calculators.
