Variables and CoVariation

Quantitative Reasoning

Quantitative Reasoning: Units and Estimates

We develop our quantitative reasoning skills through units, estimations, and asking ‘does that make sense’?

Quantitative Reasoning: Percents

We practice communicating mathematical explanations through fractions and percents.

Relations and Graphs

Relations and Graphs: Cartesian Coordinates

We plot points on a 2-dimensional Cartesian graph.

Relations and Graphs: Relations

We define relations and graph examples of relations.

Relations and Graphs: Famous Functions

We list important relations and functions that will be explored throughout this course and used often in Calculus.

Changing in Tandem

Changing in Tandem

We explore how mathematics, and graphs in particular, allow us to describe and investigate the relationships between two variables changing in tandem.

Comparing Lines and Exponentials

Linear Equations

Linear Equations: Finding Patterns

We introduce linear equations by finding patterns in tables.

Linear Equations: Slope

We explore the slope of lines.

Linear Equations: Equations of Lines

We explore the different ways we might write the equation of a line including the slope-intercept form, the point-slope form, and standard form.

Linear Modeling

Linear Modeling

We explore how real-world applications of linear equations.

Exponential Modeling

Exponential Modeling: Exponent Rules

We review the rules of exponents.

Exponential Modeling: Early Exponentials

We use exponents when exploring real world situations.
