Math 3
Course Description
It is in the Mathematics III course that students integrate and apply the mathematics they have learned from their earlier courses. This course includes standards from the conceptual categories of Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. For the Mathematics III course, instructional time should focus
on four critical areas: (1) apply methods from probability and statistics to draw inferences and conclusions from data; (2) expand understanding of functions to include polynomial, rational, logarithmic and radical functions; (3) expand right triangle trigonometry to
include general triangles; and (4) consolidate functions and geometry to create models and solve contextual problems. California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics addressed in this course are included with the Student Learning Outcomes and the Standards of Mathematical Practice are developed within every module.
Standards of Mathematical Practice
In connection to the High School Mathematics I course content, students will be able to:
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
