Course ID: 304C
This is the first mathematics course in the Regents sequence. The purpose of this course is to satisfy the Algebra requirement of the Common Core Standards adopted by New York State. This course will assist students in developing skills and processes to be applied using a variety of techniques to successfully solve problems in a variety of settings. Problem situations may result in all types of linear equations in one variable, quadratic functions with integral coefficients and roots as well as absolute value and exponential functions. Coordinate geometry will be integrated into the investigation of these functions allowing students to make connections between their analytical and geometrical representations. This class is taught using a 1 period/2 period (A/B days) format so that students receive 39 additional minutes of instruction every other day. The use of graphing calculators is an integral part of this course and owning a Texas Instruments graphing calculator (TI-84 Plus minimum) is most helpful. Students will take the Algebra I Common Core Regents exam in June.
