Math 1/ Secondary 1/ Integrated Math 1 Semester 2

This is the second semester of Math 1.  
Math 1 is a course that is typically taught in 9th grade in states that follow the integrated model.  In this course we will study algebra, geometry, functions, number and operations, statistics and modeling.  

Each class we will meet and learn concepts together.   We will have a weekly quiz to help with understanding this will be turned in via a google form.  The quiz itself will be on paper.   Although assignments are provided, you will be expected to self-check your work and reach out to me with any questions.  Assignments are practice, by doing the assignments you will be more comfortable with the concepts.  You will have worked out solutions to most problems.  

We will do many of the lessons on Desmos.   It is important to explore math concepts together in a way that you feel comfortable to participate.  This can be done as a group, via private chat or another way.  I try to help my students feel comfortable to participate in their own way.    We will be using the Desmos website to do lessons and activities together as well as Powerpoint and the Zoom white board.   In Semester 2 our focus will be on Geometry but we will be utilizing algebraic concepts throughout the semesster.

Week 1: Point, Lines and Planes: Basics of Geometry
Week 2: Using midpoint and distance formula on the coordinate plane
Week 3:  Angles, angles and more angles
Week 4:  Introduction to Proofs 
Week 5:  Parallel and Perpendicular Line properties
Week 6:  Parallel and Perpendicular Line Properties
Week 7:  Rigid Transformation:  Translation and Reflection
Week 8:  Transformations:  Rotation and Dilations
Week 9:  More Proofs
Week 10:  Triangle Congruency
Week 11: Triangle Congruency
Week 12: Coordinate Geometry
Week 13 Coordinate Geometry
Week 14: Modeling Data



We will also be learning to use a calculator.  Whether it's the Desmos Scientific Calculator (online or phone app) or the TI-84 calculator, we will learn to use technology.   Please let me know if you would like a grade for this class, the grades will come from the weekly quizzez, a midterm test and a final test.  I do allow test corrections on most problems.
