Segmented Math/Collection of Evidence 

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Segmented Math will consist of the States Collection of Evidence (COE) materials which cover all of the Process and Content Strands required for an alternate of the WASL test which is required for high school graduation. Students who do not pass the WASL in their sophomore year (10th grade) are required to continue to take a WASL level math class and pass it until they either graduate, pass the WASL, or pass one of the state approved WASL alternates. The Collection of Evidence (COE) is one of the approved alternates.
 
MAJOR UNITS OF STUDY:
First Semester: TheContent Strands are Number Sense, Measurement, Geometric Sense, Probability and Statistics, and Algebra Sense. The Process Strands are Solves problems/Reasons Logically, Communicates Understanding, and Makes Connections. Each student will prepare at least 2 items from each Strand for submission to the State at the February Submission.
Second Semester: Each student will continue to work on additional items from the above strands to prepare to resubmit more COE items in the event of non-passage of their February submission. Only areas that have not been passed are required for 2nd submission. These items along with WASL released items will build student skills to help pass the WASL in April. Students must annually take the WASL in order to qualify to make a submission.
 


Algebra I

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Algebra is the conceptual foundation for all mathematics. This course is centered on three major topics-language and symbolism; relations and functions; and graphs. Students will learn to use algebra to represent situations that involve variable quantities with expressions, equations and inequalities. Emphasis will be placed on using linear and quadratic functions to solve application problems.
 
MAJOR UNITS OF STUDY:
First Semester: Introducing Functions, Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities, Analyzing Linear Functions and Their Graphs, Systems of Equations and Inequalities 
Second Semester: Lines and Distance, Polynomials, Quadratic Functions and Equations


Algebra II

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Algebra II is a course designed for college bound students. This course is a continuation of Algebra I but in much greater depth and detail. The emphasis is still on symbolism, functions and graphing, but the course has a unit in advanced probability. Linear and quadratic functions are studied in more depth, and polynomial, radical, exponential and logarithmic functions are introduced.
 
 
MAJOR UNITS OF STUDY:
First Semester: Exponential Probability and Simulation, Advanced Techniques for Chance and Data, Linear Functions, Equations and Inequalities, Solving Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities, Quadratic Functions and Relations
Second Semester: Investigating Roots and Powers, Polynomials and Polynomial Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
