Integrated Math 3 Honors

Integrated Math 3 Honors finishes the honors integrated pathway. The opening unit studies polynomial functions: comparing growth rates, reading end behavior from formulas, graphs, and tables, adding and multiplying functions graphically, the fundamental theorem of algebra, binomial expansion, and the remainder theorem. The units that follow will take up rational functions, modeling with geometry, and trigonometry across the first semester, then modeling with functions, polar and parametric curves, and statistics, and the closing unit will introduce limits and the derivative, the step into calculus.

Much of the practice is drawn on axes: you sketch the polynomial yourself, and a sketch grades as correct only when it crosses the axis at odd-multiplicity roots, bounces at even ones, and carries the right end behavior. Alongside the sketches come expressions entered in math notation, functions ordered by growth rate, and values placed on graphs and tables, with short videos folded into the reading. As everywhere on the pathway, a skill closes after four correct answers in a row against its bank, and the unit test draws from the same pools.
