Prerequisite:  Completion of IM1/2A or equivalent course with a grade of B or higher or completion of the Challenge Exam with a score of 90 or higher.

(UC approved “c”)    

IM2B/3 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 second course in the accelerated three-year high school math progression (IM1/2A - IM2B/3 - Math Analysis).   As an integrated math course, the content of IM2B/3 features both algebraic and geometric approaches to solving problems.  Key concepts include circles, proof, properties of circles (geometric and algebraic), area, volume, surface area, nonlinear systems of equations, transforming families of graphs, inverse functions, logarithms, trigonometry, polynomial functions, rational equations, systems of equations in three variables, and complex numbers.  

This class covers portions of the material in the Model Mathematics II course as well as the material of the Model Mathematics III 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.
