Course Number: MA.INALGE3
Course Name: Integrated Algebra/Geometry 3
Prerequisite: Integrated Algebra/Geometry 1, 2
Course Description:  Integrated Algebra/Geometry 3 & 4 builds on the mathematical topics and problem solving methods introduced in Integrated Algebra/Geometry 1 & 2. This course is also organized around the concept of “function” and techniques of mathematical analysis to identify patterns and to create and use functions that model real-world data. This course reinforces and builds on students’ knowledge of linear functions to further develop their understanding of exponential and quadratic functions. This course helps students continue to develop their ability to explore and solve mathematical problems, think critically, work cooperatively, and communicate ideas clearly. Students also broaden their knowledge of and reinforce their skills in geometry and measurement; number sense and computation; algebra and problem solving; probability and statistics; all of which provides a strong foundation for topics in future math courses. The course encourages and supports different learning styles by using visual and hands-on approaches that could include computer and graphing calculator technologies, exploratory activities, projects, and group work. This course is explicitly aligned to Grade 10 Colorado State Mathematics Standards and CSAP Assessment Framework. (A scientific calculator is required; a graphing calculator is recommended.)
