Three big strands
Everything in Math 1 belongs to one of three families. Here is what each one focuses on, and where it goes next in Math 2.
Algebra and functions
- Linear, exponential, and quadratic functions
- Comparing how each kind changes
- Next in Math 2: quadratics, square roots, inverse variation
Geometry
- Distance and midpoint on the coordinate plane
- Slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines
- Next in Math 2: triangles, congruence, similarity, right-triangle trig
Probability and statistics
- Shape, center, and spread of one-variable data
- Scatter plots, regression, interpreting linear models
- Next in Math 2: probability rules and two-way tables
