Course Description & Overview
Integrated Mathematics 3 Honors is the third course in a three-course series which includes all of the Common Core State Standards from Integrated Mathematics 2 Honors. It builds and strengthens students' conceptual knowledge of tools of geometry, similarity through transformations, symmetry, congruence through transformations and trigonometry. Integrated Mathematics 3 Honors also includes linear relations and functions, quadratic functions, systems of equations, polynomial functions, inverse functions, radical functions and relations, exponential and logarithmic functions, and a continued study of statistics.
The purpose of Integrated Mathematics 3 Honors is to develop students’ ability to think mathematically and develop their conceptual understanding of and procedural fluency in mathematics. Integrated Mathematics 3 Honors will extend the mathematics students learned in earlier grades and continue the development of concepts in number and quantity, algebra, functions, modeling, geometry, Statistics and Probability, and Trigonometry needed for higher level mathematics courses. Extensive use of models/real-world situations, manipulatives, graphs, and diagrams will help students see the connections between different topics which will promote students’ view that mathematics is a set of related topics as opposed to a set of discrete topics. In addition, students will learn to solve problems graphically, numerically, algebraically, and verbally and make connections between these representations. Students in this course will learn to use mathematical models to understand real world events and situations and use algebraic and trigonometric reasoning to manipulate these models for deeper learning. Students who successfully complete this course will advance to Calculus.
