Advanced Algebra: Concepts & Connections

Comprehensive Overview

Advanced Algebra: Concepts & Connections is the third course in a sequence of courses designed to ensure career and college readiness. It is intended to prepare students for fourth mathematics course options relevant to their postsecondary pursuits. High school course content standards are listed by big idea, including Data and Statistical Reasoning, Probabilistic Reasoning, Functional and Graphical Reasoning, Patterning and Algebraic Reasoning, and Geometric and Spatial Reasoning. In Advanced Algebra: Concepts & Connections, students will continue to enhance their data and statistical reasoning skills as they learn specific ways to collect, critique, analyze, and interpret data. Students will learn how to use matrices and linear programming to represent data and to solve contextually relevant problems. Students will strengthen their geometric and spatial reasoning skills as they learn how to solve trigonometric equations using the unit circle. In previous courses, students studied how to use linear and quadratic functions to model real-life phenomena. 

In Advanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections, students will further develop their functional and graphical reasoning as they explore and analyze structures and patterns for exponential, logarithmic, radical, polynomial, and rational expressions, equations and functions to further understand the world around them.

Coweta County School System follows the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) curriculum and instructional learning plans, adhering to the state-designed scope and sequence.

To support instruction, content specific teacher guides with weekly lesson plans have been developed for Coweta County educators. These resources are available in the High School Math Shared Drive, organized by course.

Access to the shared drive requires you being a member. If you do not have access, please contact your school's ETSS to request to be added.
