CURRICULUM GUIDE 2014
MATHEMATICS
ACADEMIC MATHEMATICS I
(MATIA)
This course enables students to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts related to algebra, analytic
geometry, and measurement and geometry through investigation, the effective use of technology, and abstract
reasoning. Students will investigate relationships, which they will then generalize as equations of lines, and will
determine the connections between different representations of linear relation. They will also explore relationships
that emerge from the measurement of three-dimensional figures and two-dimensional shapes. Students will reason
mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems. Students will learn to use logical
reasoning in the computation of probability problems. Students will begin to use computer programs and grid
mapping software to better understand technological mathematics. Prerequisite: None.
APPLIED MATHEMATICS I
(MAT1P)
A This course enables students to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts related to introductory
algebra, proportional reasoning, and measurement and geometry through investigation, the effective use of
technology, and hands-on activities. Students wil
