1 year, 1.0 credit (1 semester, .5 credit)

This course is the second 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 Matrix Models, Patterns of Location, Shape and Size, Patterns of Association. Power Models, Network Optimization, Geometric Form and Function, and Patterns in Chance. This course, along with Integrated I, will help prepare students to meet standard on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning which is taken spring of the sophomore year. Students are required to work in groups with their peers, using a variety of problem solving strategies, and to apply all concepts learned to new situations. In this course, students advance their abilities to communicate mathematically through reading and writing. One of the Edmonds School District anchor tasks will be administered this year.
