Integrated Math III

Integrated Math III is the third course in the Integrated Mathematics Pathway.  It is designed to round off student’s studies of Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics and to prepare them for a fourth course in higher mathematics, such as, a college prep Statistics course or Introductory Calculus.

The purpose of Integrated Math III is to round off the mathematics learned in previous integrated coursework as well as to prepare them for their next experience with higher mathematics.  Here, again, we emphasize the nature of mathematics as a continuum of ideas rather than a set of distinct subjects.  We bring to completeness the matter of how data is to be acquired and utilized. We extend the notion of functions to exponential functions and logarithms as resources for computation and modeling.  We increase our numeracy through the study of rational numbers and their abstract extension into rational expressions and equations. Integrated Math III extends our geometric powers as well, through the incorporation of the Law of Sines and Cosines, while bringing in the notion of periodic functions which serve as yet another model for students to use.
