The mathematics curriculum is aligned with California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. The goal of the mathematics curriculum is to develop mathematically powerful students. Mathematical power involves the ability to discern mathematical relationships, reason logically, and use mathematical techniques effectively. The focus of each course is a balance among understanding of basic skills, problem solving, and concept development.
Integrated Math 1 continues the development of the students’ understanding, begun in grades K-8. The students go beyond the simple application of previously constructed mathematics to real-world problems. Students will reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems, interpret the structure of expressions, create equations that describe numbers of relationships, understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning, solve equations and inequalities in one variable, solve systems of equations, and represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically. Students will understand the concept of a function and use function notation, interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context, analyze functions using different representations, build a function that models a relationship between two quantities, build new functions from existing functions, construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems, and interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model. They will experiment with transformations in the plane, understand congruence in terms of rigid motions, make geometric constructions, and use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically, They will summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables, and interpret linear models.

The Introduction to Data Science course will emphasize the use of statistics and computation as tools for creative work, as a means of telling stories with data. Its content will prepare students to "read" and think critically about existing data stories. It will present a process that is iterative and authentically inquiry-based, comparing multiple "views" of one or more data sets. The student's interpretation relies on a special kind of computation, simulation, and modeling to describe the uncertainty in each view. This kind of reasoning is exploratory and investigatory, sometimes framed as hypothesis evaluation and sometimes as hypothesis generation. The statistical programming language used by academics and industry will be used to bring data science to life.
The main goal of the Introduction to Data Science course is to teach students to think critically about and with data. This new and innovative curriculum will meet the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for High School Statistics and Probability, relevant second-year Algebra probability and statistics standards, the Modeling standard, and relevant mathematics standards. This course emphasizes the CCSS High School — Statistics and Probability Standards that involve the study of data science. Students authentically apply the Standards for Mathematical Practice throughout the course.

In PreCalculus (P), students extend their work with complex numbers begun in AUHSD Integrated Math 3, or equivalent, to see that the complex numbers can be represented in the Cartesian plane and that operations with complex numbers have a geometric interpretation. They connect their understanding of trigonometry and the geometry of the plane to express complex numbers in polar form. Students begin working with vectors, representing them geometrically and performing operations with them. They connect the notion of vectors to the complex numbers. Students also work with matrices and their operations, experiencing for the first time an algebraic system in which multiplication is not commutative. Finally, they see the connection between matrices and transformations of the plane, namely that a vector in the plane can be multiplied by a 2×2 matrix to produce another vector, and they work with matrices from the point of view of transformations. They also find inverse matrices and use matrices to represent and solve linear systems. Students extend their work with trigonometric functions, investigating the reciprocal functions secant, co-secant, and cotangent and their graphs and properties. They find inverse trigonometric functions by appropriately restricting the domains of the standard trigonometric functions and use them to solve problems that arise in modeling contexts. While students have worked previously with parabolas and circles, they now work with ellipses and hyperbolas. They also work with polar coordinates and curves defined parametrically, and connect these to their other work with trigonometry and complex numbers. Finally, students work with more complicated rational functions, graphing them and determining zeros, y-intercepts, symmetry, asymptotes, intervals for which the function is increasing or decreasing, and maximum or minimum points. Students who successfully complete this course are prepared to take an introductory college-level Calculus course.

While students have worked previously with parabolas and circles, they now work with ellipses and hyperbolas. They also work with polar coordinates and curves defined parametrically, and connect these to their other work with trigonometry and complex numbers. Finally, students work with more complicated rational functions, graphing them and determining zeros, y-intercepts, symmetry, asymptotes, intervals for which the function is increasing or decreasing, and maximum or minimum points. Students who successfully complete this course are prepared to take an introductory college-level Calculus course.

Students will work with functions represented in a variety of ways: graphical, numerical, analytical, or verbal. They should understand the connections among these representations. Understand the meaning of the derivative in terms of a rate of change and local linear approximation and they should be able to use derivatives to solve a variety of problems. Understand the meaning of the definite integral both as a limit of Riemann sums and as the net accumulation of change and should be able to use integrals to solve a variety of problems. Understand the relationship between the derivative and the definite integral as expressed in both parts of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Communicate mathematics both orally and in well-written sentences and should be able to explain solutions to problems. Model a written description of a physical situation with a function, a differential equation, or an integral. Use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and verify conclusions. Determine the reasonableness of solutions, including sign, size, relative accuracy, and units of measurement. Develop an appreciation of calculus as a coherent body of knowledge and as a human accomplishment.

(eLearning) In PreCalculus (P), students extend their work with complex numbers begun in AUHSD Integrated Math 3, or equivalent, to see that the complex numbers can be represented in the Cartesian plane and that operations with complex numbers have a geometric interpretation. They connect their understanding of trigonometry and the geometry of the plane to express complex numbers in polar form. Students begin working with vectors, representing them geometrically and performing operations with them. They connect the notion of vectors to the complex numbers. Students also work with matrices and their operations, experiencing for the first time an algebraic system in which multiplication is not commutative. Finally, they see the connection between matrices and transformations of the plane, namely that a vector in the plane can be multiplied by a 2×2 matrix to produce another vector, and they work with matrices from the point of view of transformations. They also find inverse matrices and use matrices to represent and solve linear systems. Students extend their work with trigonometric functions, investigating the reciprocal functions secant, co-secant, and cotangent and their graphs and properties. They find inverse trigonometric functions by appropriately restricting the domains of the standard trigonometric functions and use them to solve problems that arise in modeling contexts. While students have worked previously with parabolas and circles, they now work with ellipses and hyperbolas. They also work with polar coordinates and curves defined parametrically, and connect these to their other work with trigonometry and complex numbers. Finally, students work with more complicated rational functions, graphing them and determining zeros, y-intercepts, symmetry, asymptotes, intervals for which the function is increasing or decreasing, and maximum or minimum points. Students who successfully complete this course are prepared to take an introductory college-level Calculus course.
