Integrated Math 1
In Integrated Math 1, students build on the descriptive statistics, function, expressions and equations, and geometric work first encountered in the middle grades, taking the ideas further while using more formal reasoning and precise language. Specifically, students add to the statistical work from the middle grades by working with standard deviation, describing statistical distributions more precisely, and measuring goodness-of-fit with residuals and correlation coefficient. They formalize their concept of function and encounter exponential functions as well as other examples of non-linear functions. Explicit comparisons and contrasts are made between linear and exponential functions. They develop their abilities to see structure in expressions to show that expressions involving several operations are equivalent (for example, grasping that “substitution” works at various levels of complexity), and they solve equations and inequalities by writing a series of equivalent statements, justifying each step. In the Geometry units in this course, students develop precise definitions of shapes and relationships previously encountered. Instead of informal arguments, they create more rigorous proofs. Students use geometric transformations to define congruence and, once triangle congruence and criteria are established, they prove a variety of theorems and solve problems related to these ideas.
Units
M1.1
One Variable Statistics
Summary
• Create dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
• Use available classroom technology to create histograms and box plots and calculate measures of center and spread.
• Use terms such as “flat,” “skewed,” “bell-shaped,” and “symmetric” to describe data distributions.
• Analyze and compare data sets.
• Understand relationships between mean and median for symmetrical and skewed data distributions.
• Recognize outliers when they exist, and know to investigate their source.
• Know that outliers affect the mean, but not the median of a data set.
• Describe variability by calculating deviations from the mean.
• Compare two data sets with the same means but different variabilities, and contrast them by calculating the deviation of each data point from the mean.
• Understand that IQR is a description of variability better suited to a skewed distribution.
• Work with two-way tables.

Summary
• Distinguish between the growth laws of linear and exponential functions and recognize when a situation can be modeled by a linear function versus an exponential function. • Graph exponential functions and understand how changing by a constant factor over equal intervals affects the graph. • Model situations of growth and decay with exponential functions expressed in various different forms given a graph, a description of the situation, or two input-output pairs (including reading these from a table) • Understand that over time a quantity increasing exponentially will eventually exceed a quantity increasing linearly. • Understand the form of different expressions for exponential functions in terms of change by a constant factor over equal intervals.
