Integrated Algebra A
Textbook Website
Frameworks
Prerequisite:
8th grade Math or Pre-Algebra
Algebra A is the first part of a two-credit algebra course. Algebra B is the second part of a two-credit algebra course. Students who successfully complete Algebra A and Algebra B will meet the Algebra I requirement for graduation. Students should be able to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. The process of collecting and analyzing data should be embedded throughout this course. Appropriate technology and manipulatives should be used regularly for instruction and assessment. Students should be able to judge the meaning, utility, and reasonableness of the results of symbol manipulations, including those carried out by technology. These SLEs are the minimum requirement for Algebra A. Due to differences in students' abilities, time may allow instruction to proceed with Algebra B SLEs.

Prerequisite:
Integrated Algebra A or 1st Semester Algebra I
Algebra A is the first part of a two-credit algebra course. Algebra B is the second part of a two- credit algebra course. Students who successfully complete Algebra A and Algebra B will meet the Algebra I requirement for graduation Students should be able to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. The process of collecting and analyzing data should be embedded throughout this course. Appropriate technology and manipulatives should be used regularly for instruction and assessment. Students should be able to judge the meaning, utility, and reasonableness of the results of symbol manipulations, including those carried out by technology.
It is strongly recommended to regularly assess Algebra A skills to help drive the instruction of Algebra B. All SLEs taught in Algebra A should be revisited in Algebra B as necessary.
Algebra I

Frameworks
Prerequisite:
8th Grade Math or Pre-Algebra
These are the SLEs that must be mastered in Algebra I. Other algebraic properties should be taught to adequately prepare students for Geometry and Algebra II. Students should be able to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. The process of collecting and analyzing data should be embedded throughout this course. Appropriate technology and manipulatives should be used regularly for instruction and assessment. Students should be able to judge the meaning, utility, and reasonableness of the results of symbol manipulations, including those carried out by technology.
Geometry
Textbook Website
Frameworks
Prerequisite:
Algebra I or Integrated Algebra B
This course will help students develop communication skills, enhance reasoning, and make connections within mathematics to other disciplines and the real world. Students will use physical models and appropriate technology to investigate geometric concepts in problem solving situations. In this course, students are engaged in problematic situations in which they form conjectures, determine the validity of these conjectures, and defend their conclusions to classmates.
Algebra II
Textbook Website
Frameworks
Prerequisite:
Algebra I or Integrated Algebra B
Algebra II is designed for students who have successfully completed Algebra I (or its equivalent). Algebra II will build on the basic concepts presented in Algebra I to encourage higher order thinking. Algebra II students will represent and analyze mathematical situations. The students will analyze and apply a variety of methods to model and graph linear and nonlinear equations and inequalities. Students will also use algebraic, graphical, and numerical methods for analysis of quadratic equations and functions and polynomials and rational functions. Exponential functions, logarithmic functions, data analysis, and probability will be explored in Algebra II. Arkansas teachers are responsible for integrating appropriate technology in the course work for Algebra II. Pre-Calculus
Textbook Website: Advanced Algebra
Textbook Website: Trigonometry
Textbook Website: Calculus
Frameworks
Prerequisite:
Algebra II
Pre-Calculus including trigonometry is designed for students who have successfully completed Algebra II and Geometry. Students will use symbolic reasoning and analytical methods to represent mathematical situations, to express generalizations, and to study mathematical concepts and the relationships among them. Students will use functions and equations as tools for expressing generalizations. This course will emphasize a study of trigonometric functions and identities as well as applications of right triangle trigonometry and circular functions. Students will be introduced to polar coordinates in this class. Arkansas teachers will be responsible for integrating appropriate technology in the Pre-Calculus curriculum.
