Major Topics Covered

EOCT Required

Math 1

This is the first in a sequence of mathematics courses designed to prepare students to enter college at the calculus level. It includes radical, polynomial and rational expressions, basic functions and their graphs, simple equations, fundamentals of proof, properties of polygons, coordinate geometry, sample statistics, and curve fitting. Instruction and assessment should include the appropriate use of manipulatives and technology. Topics should be represented in multiple ways, such as concrete/pictorial, verbal/written, numeric/data-based, graphical, and symbolic. Concepts should be introduced and used, where appropriate, in the context of realistic phenomena.

Yes

Math 2

This is the second in a sequence of mathematics courses designed to prepare students to enter college at the calculus level. It includes complex numbers; quadratic, piecewise, and exponential functions; right triangles, and right triangular trigonometry; properties of circles; and statistical inference. Instruction and assessment should include the appropriate use of manipulatives and technology. Topics should be represented in multiple ways, such as concrete/pictorial, verbal/written, numeric/data-based, graphical, and symbolic. Concepts should be introduced and used, where appropriate, in the context of realistic phenomena.
