    Teacher Bio
     
    My name is Irina Korotaeva. I am from Russia. I came to the United States in 2008 and have been here ever since. I have a BS in math from the University of Houston and plan on getting a Ph.D. in math later on. I like going to different concerts and enjoy being outdoors. 
     
    Course Description
     
    Math Models
     

    Mathematical Models with Applications is a course designed to help students continue to build on their Algebra I foundations as they expand their understanding through other mathematical experiences. Students use mathematical methods to model and solve real-life applied problems involving money, data, chance, patterns, music, design, and science. Students use mathematical models from algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics and connections among these to solve problems from a wide variety of advanced applications in both mathematical and non-mathematical situations. 

     
     
    Geometry
     

    Geometry is specifically aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) Geometry Standards and Benchmarks. Geometry provides a curriculum focused on the mastery of critical skills and the understanding of key geometric concepts.

    Students will study and learn the critical elements of geometry which include ideas of congruence, similarity, proof, constructions and trigonometry.  Additional ideas include extending to three-dimensions, connecting algebra to geometry through coordinates, circles with and without coordinates and applications of probability.
