Scientific calculator required NCAA Approved

Meets 9^th grade standards by following 9^th grade CAP documents. This course counts as first year of Graduation Requirements. The main goal of Algebra is to develop fluency in all grade level standards with an emphasis on working with proportional reasoning and linear equations. Students will extend their experiences with tables, graphs, and equations and solve linear equations, inequalities and systems of linear equations. They will also extend their understanding of the real number system to include irrational numbers. Students will generate equivalent expressions and use formulas in order to solve problems, as well as simplify polynomials in order to begin the study of quadratic relationships. To meet 21^st century learning, students will use technology and models to investigate and explore mathematical ideas and relationships and develop multiple strategies for analyzing complex situations. An emphasis will be placed on analyzing situations verbally, numerically, graphically, and symbolically and application of mathematical skills to make meaningful connections to life’s experiences.
