Max GPA: 4.0 Credits: 1.0

Course Description: This course is the first year of Integrated Mathematics pathway. The integrated approach to high school mathematics is typically seen internationally and consists of a sequence of three to four courses depending on school's curriculum; each course includes number, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics and is no less rigorous than a traditional pathway: Algebra 1 and Geometry. Typically Integrated/Applied Mathematics 1 has more geometric concepts than a traditional Algebra 1 course. If the integrated series of Integrated 1 and Integrated 2 is used in place of the traditional series of Algebra 1 and Geometry and the integrated series of Integrated 1 and Integrated 2 collectively allows students the access and opportunity to learn all required high school Kentucky Academic Standards for Mathematics included in Algebra 1 and Geometry, then students who complete this series have met the high school graduation requirements of Algebra 1 and Geometry.
