MATH LAB 1

Course Number: 3009 Grade level: 9

Credit Value: 1 Prerequisite: Teacher Placement Math Lab 1 provides targeted small group instruction to support progress in math. These supports may include pre-teaching, re-teaching, direct instruction, accommodations and the use of web-based accelerated math programs. This course is a study of the real number system, dealing with such topics as rationals, integers, laws of exponents, radicals, polynomials, factoring, fractional equations, linear functions, graphing, and their applications with real life problems. This course also includes topics from Geometry including coordinate geometry and trigonometry. Students enrolled in the math lab program have the opportunity to reintegrate into the standard Nido math pathway. However, the class provides comprehensive skill building aligned with Nido math standards for those students who remain in the Math Lab sequence all four years of high school. A

graphing calculator is required. The TI-84+ family will be used for all demonstrations. Math Lab 1 is not adequate preparation for IB courses. Registration for this course is made by placement only.
