This course is recommended for those students with advanced skills in and deep conceptual understanding of mathematical processes. The pace of this course is accelerated in comparison to the non-honors course of the same name, and topics will be studied in much greater depth. This course is the third year of a four-year sequence of integrated, standards-based mathematics courses. The course represents a departure from a skills-based curriculum, in which skills are taught in isolation, towards a problem-based curriculum, in which skills and concepts serve as tools for solving problems. Students will learn algebra and functions, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability, and discrete mathematics in real-world contexts. Units of study include: Multiple-Variable Models, Modeling Public Opinion, Symbol Sense and Algebraic Reasoning, Shapes and Geometric Reasoning, Patterns in Variation, Families of Functions, and Discrete Models of Change. Students will demonstrate learning through class participation, in-class investigations, daily homework, projects, quizzes, tests, performance assessments, and written responses to complex problem situations (problems of the week).
