Accelerated Coordinate Algebra
Accelerated Coordinate Algebra / Analytic Geometry Part A
Dr. Khan, Ph.D., Fall 2012 ekhan@marietta-city.k12.ga.us WHY ARE YOU TAKING THIS COURSE?
All Georgia high school students are required to take four years of mathematics. Taking Accelerated Coordinate Algebra / Analytic Geometry Part A is comparable to taking the typical ninth grade course, Coordinate Algebra AND the first half of the tenth grade course, Analytic Geometry. The reason for acceleration of the first three courses is to provide ample room in a student’s schedule to incorporate higher level mathematics classes in future years.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Accelerated Coordinate Algebra / Analytic Geometry Part A covers topics in algebra, geometry, and statistics. Unit 1: Relationships Between Quantities Unit 2: Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities Unit 3: Linear and Exponential Functions Unit 4: Describing Data
Unit 5: Transformations in the Coordinate Plane
Unit 6: Connecting Algebra and Geometry Through Coordinates
Unit 7: Similarity, Congruence, and Proofs
Unit 8: Right Triangle Trigonometry
Unit 9: Circles and Volume
The first semester of Accelerated Coordinate Algebra / Analytic Geometry Part A will cover the first five units. Second semester will include the last four units. During the second semester students will take the End of Course Test in Coordinate Algebra, which will count as the final exam grade.
WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR THIS COURSE?
There is not a textbook for Accelerated Coordinate Algebra / Analytic Geometry Part A. Students will be given unit packets and supplementary materials throughout the semester. It is important that all students keep a notebook for this course. Students are also asked to keep a spiral bound set of index cards to use for important facts, examples, definitions, etc. This can be a resource used to study and review mathematics across multiple courses. Students will be required to have the following each day in class: notebook
