Analytical Integrated Mathematics (AIM) is a mathematics course that teaches using a non-traditional applied methodology. It is specifically directed at students who have had traditional secondary math education and who require a different approach to master the material. The underlying philosophy of the course is that math is a tool that is better learned in the context that it will be used. It has been created for students who learn best by having developmentally appropriate activities in which what they have learned is immediately implemented. 

In Unit 6, students participate in a robotics competition.
