Integrated Algebra & Geometry: Yearly Overview

Overview
This course is designed to prepare you for success in college, in the career of your choice, and in your daily lives because it is designed to develop your abilities to explore mathematical problems, think critically, work cooperatively, and to clearly communicate mathematical ideas. You will be guided to demonstrate a higher level of proficiency in problem solving, critical thinking communication and you will be able to make connections between mathematics and other subject areas. This course is designed for students with strong mathematical skills who are adept at understanding new mathematical concepts quickly. Assignments extend beyond the standard Integrated Algebra/Geometry class because they require deeper thought and the ability to apply that knowledge at a higher level.
