Course Description: 
The curriculum for Integrated Modern Algebra is based on the belief that mastery in learning takes place over an extended period. When a skill or concept is introduced and practiced, students develop familiarity with it. This course intends to enable students to move toward independent learning within the context of review and extension of these skills with an introduction to topics essential for further study of mathematics. Emphasis is placed on the reinforcement of fundamental skills and concepts. The course focuses on families of functions, including linear, quadratic, exponential, and rational functions. Students are introduced to the complex number system. Other topics of study include trigonometry and data trends. As this course follows Algebra 1 and Geometry, students who complete this course will meet the NJDOE three-year mathematics graduation requirement. Students who complete and wish to continue to pursue mathematics at Wall High School can enroll in Algebra 2 CP. As this is a non-required precursor for Algebra 2 CP, students who have completed Algebra 2 CP are not eligible to take this course.

Course Description: This course is intended to build upon student work with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students extend their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions. Students work closely with the expressions that define the functions and continue to expand and hone their abilities to model situations and to solve equations, including solving quadratic equations over the set of complex numbers and solving exponential equations using the properties of logarithms. Through the Mathematical Practice Standards students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

Course Description: Statistics is the science of understanding data. This course begins with an overview of statistical design, visual representations of data, and measures of central tendency and explores how these elements can be applied to everyday real-life situations. This course aims to introduce students to the critical thinking skills they need to understand statistical topics that they may encounter in the popular media or their future careers.

Students will learn to critically evaluate the statistical information they encounter during everyday life, with a focus on becoming intelligent consumers, rather than producers, of data. Technology will be used to simplify calculation and display charts and graphs, and also to generate and access appropriate data for activities and projects.
