Mathematical Models with Applications In this course, student use algebraic, graphical, and geometric reasoning to recognize patterns and structure, to model information, and to solve problems from various disciplines. Students use mathematical methods to model and solve real-life applied problems involving money, data, chance, patterns, music design, and science. Math models from algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics and connections among these are used to solve problems from a wide variety of advanced applications in both mathematical and non-mathematical situations. Pre Integrated Mathematics I The focus of Pre- Integrated Math is to introduce algebraic symbols, vocabulary and expressions; to solve equations and inequalities; to study properties used in geometry. To provide the necessary background for further studies in mathematics and other fields dependent on mathematics. Skills include: To develop ideas in algebra, geometry, functions, matrices, logic and proofs, probability, and growth models with and emphasis on using an integrated approach and additional background prior to entering Integrated Pathway Mathematics I. Pre Integrated Mathematics II The focus of pre integrated mathematics II is to give students a chance to extend algebra and geometry skills in preparation for taking I
