Algebra I
The blueprint year: patterns, linear and exponential change, systems, and quadratics — front‑loaded so quadratics are mastered before the May exam.
Key strands · Linear · Exponential · Quadratic · Systems
Every course in the studio, in one place — the mathematics drafting table and the science archive.
Dr. Ijezie's STEM Studio runs two studios under one roof. The Mathematical Architects build with structure and proof across three high‑school courses; the Science Ambassadors keep a living archive of 7th‑grade investigations. Pick a course below to open its overview, syllabus, and pacing guide.
Three TEKS‑aligned high‑school courses, built on the TEA Bluebonnet Learning framework. From \(y = mx + b\) to \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\) and beyond.

Where mathematics becomes something you can build, draw, and prove — from compass‑and‑straightedge construction to rigorous, evidence‑backed reasoning.
Key strands · Construction · Proof · Coordinate Geometry · Measurement
A precision course in structure: design, build, and analyze the function families that model the world — from absolute value to logarithms.
Key strands · Polynomial · Rational · Radical · Exponential & Logarithmic
The full 7th‑grade Science Ambassadors command center — labs, investigations, and the Ambassador Project — kept online as a living archive for scholars and families to revisit.
Key strands · Matter & Energy · Forces & Motion · Earth · Organisms & Environments
Every course follows the same three‑part rhythm, so scholars always know where to look.
Each course opens with an overview — the itinerary of modules, what scholars will build, required materials, and the standards behind it all.
The syllabus sets policies, the studio learning environment, and grading; the pacing guide maps every module to the Beta Academy calendar.
Module checkpoints and STAAR‑style practice will live in the Assessment Center. Question sets and progress views for these math courses are being built now.
The three Mathematical Architects courses follow the TEA Bluebonnet Learning — Secondary Mathematics framework (Edition 1, adapted from Carnegie Learning) for their module and topic structure, licensed CC BY-NC 4.0. Classroom use is non‑commercial.
