Math Course Pathway for Class of 2021 and beyond

Del Mar offers the following Mathematics Courses*

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are interested in accelerating in mathematics, please speak with your School Counselor. On a case by case basis, some students may be in a higher math level compared to the standard pathway based on their math level in 8th grade or over the summer for enrichment.

Mathematics Department
Integrated Math I
Grade 9; A-G Requirement - Math; UC/CSU Designation - Math (c)

This is a one-year college prep course that meets state graduation requirements. This course includes the following topics: An overview of functions (linear, quadratic and exponential) in function form, graphs, and tables; Linear equations and inequalities in one and two variables; Geometric constructions; Congruence and rigid motions; Geometric relationships and properties of triangles, parallel lines, quadrilaterals and circles; Analyzing and interpreting data in one and two variables.

Prerequisite: Common Core Grade 8

Integrated Math II
Grade 9 or 10; A-G Requirement - Math; UC/CSU Designation - Math (c)

This is a one-year college prep course that meets state graduation requirements. This course includes the following topics: Similarity; Coordinate geometry; Trigonometric ratios; Quadratic functions; Quadratic equations; Probability.

Prerequisite: Integrated Math I/Algebra I

Integrated Math III
Grade 11; A-G Requirement - Math; UC/CSU Designation - Math (c)

The following units will be covered in Integrated Math III: Statistics (Random Processes), Circles and Conics, Trigonometric Functions, Exponential Functions, Functions Capstone, Rational and Polynomial Expressions. This course will complete the 3-year Integrated Math series and includes remaining High School Common Core Math Standards that are not covered in Integrated Math I and Integrated Math II.

Prerequisite: Integrated Math II/Geometry
Co-requisites: Integrated Math II equivalent (from middle school)

Integrated Math III Honors +
Grade 11; A-G Requirement - Math; UC/CSU Designation - Math (c)

This course is designed for students who are interested in pursuing STEM fields in college. The pace of this course is accelerated. The topics studied are Sequences & Series (algebraic & geometric), Exponential & Logarithmic Functions, Inverse Functions, Features & Transformations of Functions, Higher Order Functions & Rational Functions, Trigonometric Functions, Unit Circle & Triangle Trigonometry, Statistics

 

+ UC/CSU Honors (Weighted)

Prerequisite: Passing Integrated Mathematics II with a B or Higher

 

Integrated Math IV PreCalculus
Grade 12; A-G Requirement - Math; UC/CSU Designation - Math (c)

This is a one-year college prep course that extends the Integrated Mathematics series. The course will include a deeper exploration of trigonometric, rational, piecewise, exponential and logarithmic functions. Students will explore applications of complex numbers and vectors as well as broaden their understanding of statistical regression and probability.

Prerequisite: Integrated Math III

IB Mathematics Applications & Interpretation (AI) - SL +
Grade 11 & 12; One-Year; A-G Requirement - Math; UC/CSU Designation - Math (c)

This course recognizes the increasing role that mathematics and technology play in a diverse range of fields in a data-rich world. As such, it emphasizes the meaning of mathematics in context by focusing on topics that are often used as applications or in mathematical modelling. To give this understanding a firm base, this course also includes topics that are traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course, such as calculus and statistics.  The course makes extensive use of technology to allow students to explore and construct mathematical models. Mathematics: applications and interpretation will develop mathematical thinking, often in the context of a practical problem and using technology to justify conjectures.

+ UC/CSU Honors (Weighted) - Year 1

Prerequisite: Integrated Math III Honors or equivalent

IB Mathematics Analysis & Approaches (AA) - SL +
Grade 11 & 12; One-Year; A-G Requirement - Math; UC/CSU Designation - Math (c)

This course recognizes the need for analytical expertise in a world where innovation is increasingly dependent on a deep understanding of mathematics. This course includes topics that are both traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course (for example, functions, trigonometry, calculus) as well as topics that are amenable to investigation, conjecture and proof, for instance the study of sequences and series at both SL and HL, and proof by induction at HL. The course allows the use of technology, as fluency in relevant mathematical software and hand-held technology is important regardless of choice of course. However, Mathematics: analysis and approaches has a strong emphasis on the ability to construct, communicate and justify correct mathematical arguments.

+ UC/CSU Honors (Weighted) - Year 1

Prerequisite: Integrated Math III or equivalent

IB Mathematics Applications & Interpretation (AI) - HL +
Grade 11 & 12; Two-year; A-G Requirement - Math; UC/CSU Designation - Math (c)

+ UC/CSU Honors (Weighted) - Year 2 

Prerequisite - Year 1: Integrated Mathematic III Honors or equivalent

Prerequisite - Year 2: IB Math Applications & Interpretation HL Year 1

IB Mathematics Analysis & Approaches (AA) - HL +
Grade 11 & 12; Two-year; A-G Requirement - Math; UC/CSU Designation - Math (c)
