IM1/2A is a fast-paced integrated math course that requires a great deal of independent work and a very strong understanding of prior mathematical content.  It is the first course in the accelerated three-year high school math progression (IM1/2A - IM2B/3 - Math Analysis).   As an integrated math course, the content of IM1/2A features both algebraic and geometric approaches to solving problems.   Key concepts include functions (linear, exponential, and quadratic), geometric transformations and congruence, geometric constructions, linear systems of equations, angle relationships, attributes of polygons, triangle congruence, similarity, right triangle relationships, and trigonometry.

This class covers the material in the Model Mathematics I course as well as portions of the Model Mathematics II course of the Integrated Pathway in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics for California Public Schools.   The Standards for Mathematical Practice will also be woven throughout lessons, student practice assignments, and assessments.
