Integrated Mathematics III

Course Description:
This course synthesizes previous mathematical learning in four focused areas of instruction. First, students relate visual displays and summary statistics to various types of data and to probability distributions with a focus on drawing conclusions from the data. Then, students embark on an in-depth study of polynomial, rational, and radical functions, drawing on concepts of integers and number properties to understand polynomial operations and the combination of functions through operations. This section of instruction builds to the fundamental theorem of algebra. Students then expand the study of right-triangle trigonometry they began in Mathematics II to include non-right triangles and developing the laws of sines and cosines. Finally, students model an array of real-world situations with all the types of functions they have studied, including work with logarithms to solve exponential equations. As they synthesize and generalize what they have learned about a variety of function families, students appreciate the usefulness and relevance of mathematics in the real world Course Prerequisites:
NA Required Materials:
Internet access, Computer, paper, pencil, household items, and appropriate text. Course Accessibility:
Pacing of the content is set. The course content and LMS are available with the URL and personal password. Students can access course content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week where the internet is accessible. Course Participation:
Student participation in this course is documented by the following:

• Student active time in course logged by the learning management system.
• Coursework submissions recorded by the learning management system.
• Attendance verified weekly by teacher.
• Participation verified by the virtual education teacher for time spent working offline.
• Academic-based communication between the student and virtual education teacher or learning coach and virtual education teacher.
• Participation time will be recorded by weekly attendance and or cumulative progress.
• Synchronous time with the class, a group or the virtual education teacher recorded by the learning management system or teacher.
• When this course is taken by a student in a school with a district-assigned learning coach, seat time attendance may be used to document participation.
• The virtual education teacher verifies participation in the course 1-3 times a week.
• Estimated time to complete course is 50-100 hours. Teacher verification of participation weekly. Some form of weekly communication between student/parent and teacher via phone, zoom, email or in person.
