Recommended Flow of Classes

Students will study linear, quadratic, and exponential functions and their related transformations, equations, and associated solutions. Students will connect functions and their associated solutions in both mathematical and real-world situations. Students will use technology to collect and explore data and analyze statistical relationships. In addition, students will study polynomials of degree one and two, radical expressions, sequences, and laws of exponents. Students will generate and solve linear systems with two equations and two variables and will create new functions through transformations.

A course designed for students showing an advanced aptitude and superior math skills. In addition to the strands listed for Algebra I, this advanced course is designed to prepare students for entry into AP mathematics courses. The course goes beyond the on-level Algebra I content with a wider range and greater depth of subject matter. The content assessments require students to synthesize their learning and apply it on a much higher level.

Students will explore concepts covering coordinate and transformational geometry; logical argument and constructions; proof and congruence, similarity, proof, and trigonometry; two- and three- dimensional figures; circles; and probability.
