310020 Pre-Algebra
Pre-Algebra is for students who need to strengthen their mathematical skills prior to taking Integrated
Math 1. Fundamental skills of arithmetic are expanded and problem-solving skills are practiced.
Elementary algebra and geometry topics, including equations, inequalities, data analysis, graphing,
probability, areas, and volumes are introduced. Emphasis is placed on real-world applications and
making connections to other disciplines.
Prerequisites: None
Grades Taught: 9
Credit: 1
380020 Integrated Math 1
Integrated Math 1 aims to deepen and extend student understanding built in previous courses by
focusing on developing fluency with solving linear equations, inequalities, and systems. These skills are
extended to solving simple exponential equations, exploring linear and exponential functions
graphically, numerically, symbolically, and as sequences, and by using regression techniques to analyze
the fit of models to distributions of data.
Prerequisites: None
Grades Taught: 9, 10
Credit: 1

39002 Introduction to Integrated Math 2
This course is intended for students new to Birmingham Public Schools who have successfully
completed a traditional Algebra 1 course. Introduction to Integrated Math 2 will cover topics that were
developed in Integrated Math 1 that are not typically taught in Algebra 1 courses. Topics include
modeling bivariate data, sequences, triangle congruence, coordinate geometry, and exponential
functions.
Prerequisites: Algebra 1 outside of BPS
Grades Taught: 9, 10
Credit: .25
380220 Integrated Math 2
Integrated Math 2 aims to formalize and extend the geometry that students have learned in previous
courses by focusing on establishing triangle congruence criteria using rigid motions and building a
formal understanding of similarity based on dilations and proportional reasoning. It also helps students
develop the concepts of formal proof, explore the properties of two- and three-dimensional objects, and
work within the rectangular coordinate system to verify geometric relationships. Integrated Math 2
begins developing concepts around quadratic functions and right triangle trigonometry. Students also
use the language of set theory to compute and interpret probabilities for compound events, model with
functions, and explore circles and solids algebraically and geometrically.
Prerequisites: Integrated Math 1
Grades Taught: 9, 10, 11

NCAA Approved
380620 Honors Integrated Math 2
Students will investigate the same standards as regular Integrated Math 2. In Honors Integrated Math 2,
these topics are developed with greater depth, breath, and rigor. A higher degree of mastery and
attention to detail will be expected. Lessons and assessments may include additional questions,
investigations, or projects.
