Course description

The MRWC course is designed as a 4th year mathematics course that will prepare students for college-level mathematics; including pre-calculus; calculus; and other quantitative reasoning courses.† The MRWC curriculum includes standards listed in the Precalculus Chapter of the Mathematics Framework and combines concepts of trigonometry; geometry; and algebra that lead to the study of calculus in a way that is substantively different from the traditional curriculum.† The prerequisite for MRWC is a minimum grade of C in Integrated Math III / Algebra 2.††

The MRWC curriculum has been developed by a consortium of mathematics professors and math educators from CSU; UC; and CCC higher education systems; together with mathematics specialists from County Offices of Education and local school districts.† It has been specifically designed to address the need for stronger mathematics preparation for transitioning from high school to college and career pathways.

Based on the Common Core State Standards viewpoint that mathematics is a cohesive and connected body of work; the MRWC is structured to highlight conceptual connections in the more advanced study of topics leading to calculus.† Emphasis is given to conceptual understanding and making connections between numerical; symbolic; verbal; and graphical representations; discussion and analysis of alternative representations and multiple perspectives for approaching and understanding.† The distinctiveness of MRWC lies in its unique design and topic sequencing; and in the emphasis on instructional delivery that promotes exploratory and collaborative student engagement. MRWC seamlessly interweaves the CCSS Mathematical Practices throughout the curriculum and develops key Habits of Mind and a mathematical disposition required for mastering advanced; challenging college-level content knowledge.†
