In this course students explore geometric principles and use algebra as a tool to guide their investigations.  They solve diverse context-based problems using both algebraic and proof-based approaches. Students study coordinate geometry, properties of polygons, similarity, and right triangle trigonometry.  Learning how to write formal proofs is an important component of the course.  Students will improve their fluency in solving systems of equations and simplifying radicals.

Grade 9

In this course students explore geometric principles and use algebra as a tool to guide their investigations.  They solve diverse context-based problems using both algebraic and proof-based approaches. Students study coordinate geometry, properties of polygons, similarity, and right triangle trigonometry.  Learning how to write formal proofs is an important component of the course.  The honors students consider more challenging problems throughout the course, often with a greater level of abstraction and at an accelerated pace than the non-honors course.

Prerequisite: Algebra I and permission of the department head required.

Grade 9

In this course, students continue their study of geometry, exploring 2D and 3D geometry and properties of functions. The course starts by reviewing essential algebra skills while looking at the properties of functions, including absolute value, quadratics, square roots, and trigonometric functions. Functions are compared, graphed, transformed, used to solve real-life problems, and considered from geometric and algebraic lenses. Students will build on their knowledge of 2-Dimensional shapes as they study properties of circles and use triangles to solve problems. Students will develop an understanding of 3-Dimensional solids and apply their knowledge of similarity to compare solids. Throughout the year students will learn to use visual/geometric strategies to support algebraic processes for problem-solving.

Grade 10

In this course, students will further develop an integrated understanding of Algebra and Geometry. The focus of the course will be the study of functions and their inverses, through their graphs, properties and applications. Students explore families of functions including trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial and rational.  Series, sequences and limits are introduced as a precursor to calculus.

Prerequisite: Integrated Math 2

Grade 11

This course is a rigorous study of functions and their inverses, through their graphs, properties and applications. Students explore families of functions including trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial and rational.  Series, sequences and limits are introduced as a precursor to calculus.  Students consider challenging problems throughout the course, often with a greater level of abstraction and at an accelerated pace than in Integrated Math 3. In the Spring they will begin their study of limits, continuity and derivatives in preparation for Calculus BC.

Prerequisite: Integrated Math 2 Honors and permission of the department head required.

Grade 11

This course introduces students to the major concepts and tools of collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, planning a study, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference. Data sets drawn from current studies and simulation are used to reinforce concepts.  

Prerequisite: Integrated Math 3 or Integrated Math 2 and permission of the department head required.

Economics is a year-long course designed to provide students with an introduction to economic thought.  This course covers the foundational principles of economics, including both basic macroeconomic principles, and certain topics in microeconomics.  Throughout the course students work through projects, problem sets and simulations to deepen their understanding of the material. 

Prerequisites: Integrated Math 2 or Integrated Math 3 and Global History II or American History and permission of the math department head

5 periods per cycle

This course completes the integrated mathematics sequence and provides an opportunity for students to explore Calculus conceptually. The course introduces students to the picturesque intentions and building blocks of Calculus, while equipping them with relevant problem solving techniques. Students will develop and understand the fundamental concept of rates of change and use this foundational principle to analyze applications through the lens of Calculus. Both differential and integral Calculus will be introduced and examined.

Prerequisite: Integrated Math 3 and permission of the department head is required.

Grade 12

This course is an introduction to both differential and integral calculus. The derivatives and anti-derivatives of the elementary functions are fully developed using the concept of limits. Applications of the derivative include curve analysis, rectilinear motion, extreme value problems, optimizations, and related rates of change. Applications of the integral include obtaining the area between curves, finding the volumes of solids of revolution, and separable differential equations. Throughout the course, students consider graphical, algebraic, and numeric solutions to problems.  

Prerequisite: Integrated Math 3 and permission of the department head required.

Grade 12

This course continues the study of differential calculus begun in Integrated Math 3 Honors, covers integral calculus, and concludes with the study of series.  Students consider challenging problems throughout the course, often with a high level of abstraction and at an accelerated pace.  Applications of the derivative include curve analysis, rectilinear motion, extreme value problems, and related rates of change. Applications of the integral include obtaining the area between curves, volumes of solids of revolution, and separable differential equations.  Functions are considered in rectangular, parametric, or polar form.  Further topics include arc length, improper integrals, and numeric solutions of differential equations using Euler's method.  

Prerequisite: Integrated Math 3 Honors and permission of the department head required.

Grade 12

This is a class for highly motivated ninth and tenth grade students who want to improve their ability to solve mathematical problems. A problem, as opposed to an exercise, is a question you do not already know how to solve. Thus this class is an opportunity for you to engage with challenging mathematical problems.  The bedrock of the class is not content knowledge but a willingness to come at an unfamiliar math problem with creativity, curiosity and (perhaps most important) resilience. You will learn problem solving strategies and will get the tools you need to be a better problem solver today than you were yesterday. The curriculum will not overlap with any existing Trinity math course, so it runs in conjunction with our existing math sequence.
