361221/361222 Individualized Pre-Algebra
This course is designed to aid students in making the transition from middle school mathematics to Algebra. It provides
the student with prerequisite skills, concepts, and problem-solving processes such as collection, organization and
presentation of data, as well as predictions and inferences. This class will provide individualized instruction and pacing to
assist each student to reach his/her goals. The material covered during the year will include a review of addition and
subtraction, review of multiplication and division, operations and decimals, number theory, operations and fractions,
integers, sentences and integers, ordered pairs and graphing, rational numbers, ratios, proportions and percentages,
introduction to geometry, lengths and measures, area and volume, probability and statistics, squares and square roots.
Grades taught: 9, 10, 11, 12

370021/370022 Individualized Integrated Math 1
Individualized Integrated Math 1 aims to deepen and extend student understanding built in previous courses by focusing
on developing fluency with solving linear equations, inequalities, and systems. These skills are extended to solving simple
exponential equations, exploring linear and exponential functions graphically, numerically, symbolically, and as sequences,
and by using regression techniques to analyze the fit of models to distributions of data.
Prerequisites: Placement by IEP Team decision
Grades taught: 10, 11, 12

370051/370052 Individualized Integrated Math 2
Individualized Integrated Math 2 aims to formalize and extend the geometry that students have learned in previous
courses. It does this by focusing on establishing triangle congruence criteria using rigid motions and formal constructions
and building a formal understanding of similarity based on dilations and proportional reasoning. It also helps students
develop the concepts of formal proof, explore the properties of two-dimensional objects, and work within the rectangular
coordinate system to verify geometric relationships. Students also use the language of set theory to compute and
interpret probabilities for compound events. Prerequisites: Integrated Math 1 or Individualized Math 1.
Grades Taught: 11, 12

36102 Individualized Consumer Math
Consumers Math will provide students of mixed abilities with key math concepts essential for successful adult living.
Students gain practical math competence through real-world examples in the areas of money management, banking,
credit-card math, career choices, consumerism, jobs, and everyday living. Basic skills lessons review and practice
mathematical concepts essential to everyday life.
Prerequisite- must pass one trimester of Integrated Math 1
Grades taught: 10, 11, 12
Credit: 0.5
354021/354022 Practical Math
This course is designed to introduce the methods of using decimals, fractions and percentages interchangeably while
reinforcing basic mathematical operations. Daily living situations presented in story and chart format will serve as a means
for enhancing step-by-step problem-solving skills. Students will progress to levels of greater independence in reasoning
with respect to measurement, estimation, comparison and decision making. Math application skills involving scheduling,
planning and organizing personal affairs will be emphasized.
