Jefferson County Schools Mathematics The Tennessee Mathematics Framework for grades 9 through 12 includes skills for many different High School level courses, and contains the following process standards: Foundations II The Tennessee End-of-Course Tests for mathematics include a Foundations II test. Foundations II is a course that uses problem situations, physical models, and appropriate technology to investigate concepts and topics that prepare students for higher level mathematics. Problem solving situations will provide all students an environment that promotes communication and fosters connections within mathematics, to other disciplines, and to the real world. Students will use physical models to represent, explore, and develop abstract concepts. The use of appropriate technology will help students apply mathematics in an increasingly technological world. The concepts emphasized in the course include investigating and analyzing the real number system and its properties, developing and applying skills in measurement and computation, recognizing and applying patterns to solve problems, investigating basic functions and their graphs, evaluating algebraic expressions and solving equations, developing basic concepts of statistics and probability, and investigating geometric properties and relationships. |
