Integrated Math I - FIRST SEMESTER

Instructor: Patricia MacIntyreEmail: [email protected]

Phone: 619-209-4593

Course DescriptionIntegrated Math I is a problem-based, student-centered curriculum designed to provideengaging lessons that focus on developing students' Habits of Mind. The course content willfocus on formalizing and extending the mathematics learned in the middle grades. The chaptersare designed to help deepen and extend students understanding of linear relationships, in partby contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by applying linear models to datathat exhibit a linear trend.

Integrated Math I uses properties and theorems involving congruent figures to deepen andextend understanding of geometric knowledge from prior grades. The final chapter in the courseties together the algebraic and geometric ideas studied. The Mathematical Practice Standardsand Common Core content standards for mathematics are embedded throughout the course,providing a coherent, useful, and logical sequence for developing and expanding mathematicalconcepts and problem-solving skills.

Students will be using the first half of the Pearson Integrated Math I e-textbook, in addition tosupplemental materials. Goals for this course include:

to address the Common Core State Standards for Math (9th grade)

to address the eight Mathematical Practice Standards

to build a community of learners who effectively collaborate and communicate

to promote collaborative discussion and problem-solving through the incorporation of

Web 2.0 tools, project-based learning, and 21st century skills

Course Activities

Students will participate in synchronous and asynchronous activities and use technology to buildindividual and collaborative problem-solving skills, as well as to demonstrate mastery of skillsand concepts.

Students should expect to spend approximately 10 hours per week for eight weeks on thiscourse. Course activities will include:

Web-based tutorials (Pearson SuccessNet, Khan Academy, YouTube and others)

Academic vocabulary review (Quizlet and other Web 2.0 tools)

Written assignments (e.g., problem sets, geometric constructions, graphing, essay-a-

day)


2/7

Discussion forums (collaborative problem-solving)

Weekly synchronous online review sessions (web conference via Adobe Connect Pro)

Computer-scored quizzes (must upload written steps)

Group project (one per Chapter, Web 2.0 tools, collaborative problem-solving)

Chapter Tests (modeled on released Common Core performance-based math

assessments)

Textbook and Course MaterialsStudents must have Internet access and a Google account. You will have access to our

online class portal (Google Site wiki), which provides links to the Pearson Integrated Math I

e-textbook, course syllabus, course assignment list and pacing guide, web-based tutorials,

selected Web 2.0 tools (although others may also be used), and other relevant resources. AGoogle account will be needed for several of the assignments. Students are invited to post

favorite links, documents (properly cited), video (properly attributed), etc., under the Gold

Mine section of our class portal.

Learning Outcomes

Common Core high school math standards are designed to ensure that students are collegeand career ready. The standards are organized by conceptual categories or themes: Numberand Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, and Statistics and Data. Equally

important are the Standards for Mathematical Practice, which describe the behaviors or habitsof mind of mathematically proficient students. General learning outcomes for Integrated Math Iinclude:

Extend the properties of exponents to rational numbers.

Reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems.

Interpret the structure of expressions.

Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems.

Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials

Create equations that describe numbers or relationships

Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning

Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically

Graph linear equations and system of equations; determine the equation of a line;

determine and interpret the slope and intercept(s) of a line

Understand the concept of a function and use function notation.


3/7

Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.

Experiment with transformation in the plane.

Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically

Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurementvariable.

Demonstrate appropriate use of technology for individual and group problem-solving

Collaborate with peers, both academically and socially

CommunicationDiscussion Forum: Please post questions and comments to the appropriate sectionof the discussion forum, to allow for both instructor and classmate feedback. Check theposts first to see if someone has already posed your question. Students are encouraged torespond to their classmates questions and comments. Please remember to follow thecommon rules ofNetiquette. If your communication is personal or specifically individual,then please contact me directly via email. I will respond within 24 hours.

Email: Please use email only for questions/concerns that are specific to you; otherwise,please use the Discussion Forum so questions/answers are able to benefit your classmatesas well. I will respond to email messages within 24 hours.

Requirements and ExpectationsAssignments

All assignments and activities must completed in order earn at least a C in the

class. This includes participation in the weekly synchronous review sessions.Students should expect to spend about ten hours per week doing coursework andactivities during the eight-week session.

All assignments and discussion forum posts must be submitted by the due dateshown on the pacing guide, no later than 11:59 PM PST. Assignment submissionsshould be uploaded to the appropriate section of the class portal (written work,projects, links to Web 2.0 collaborations, etc.).

Late Policy

Assigned discussion forum posts must be submitted by the due date (11:59 PM

PST) and cannot be accepted late. Our class interactions and collaborativediscussions depend on timely postings and meaningful classmate feedback.

Other assignments and projects have a three-day grace period. The score will bepenalized 10% for each day late after the pacing guide due date. After three days,the assignment or project will receive a zero. Each day ends at 11:59 PM PST.

In rare cases of emergency or extreme circumstances, an extension may be granted

at the teachers discretion. Such requests should be made in advance of the duedate(s).
