Algebra IA

Description

Algebra and the world around you. You may not know it, but algebra is behind the scenes of just about everything. How long will it take to get to school? What does it mean to be average in height? What percentage of your time do you spend studying or watching TV? There are ways to measure and calculate everything from the amount of water in a glass, to the amount of glass needed to build a skyscraper. This course will review some of the fundamental math skills you learned in middle school, and then get you up to speed on the basic concepts of algebra. Each module takes you step-by-step into the world of integers, equations, graphs and data analysis. You’ll work at your own pace until the numbers come out right. This course connects algebra to the real world. It also demystifies algebra, making it easier to understand and master. The goal is to create a foundation in math that will stay with you throughout high school.

Integrated Mathematics II

Description

One day in 2580 B.C.E., a very serious architect stood in a dusty desert with a set of plans. His plans called for creating a structure 480 feet tall, with a square base and triangular sides, using stone blocks weighing two tons each. The Pharaoh wanted the job done right. The better this architect understood geometry, the better his chances were for staying alive. Algebra and geometry are everywhere, not just in pyramids. Engineers use them to build highways and bridges. Artists use them to create perspective in their paintings, and mapmakers help travelers find things using the points located on grids. Throughout this course, students travel a mathematical highway illuminated by spatial relationships, reasoning, connections, and problem-solving.
