Algebra: Concepts & Connections

Comprehensive Overview

Algebra: Concepts and Connections is the first course in a sequence of three high school courses designed to ensure career and college readiness. Students will apply their algebraic and geometric reasoning skills to make sense of problems involving algebra, geometry, bivariate data, and statistics. This course focuses on algebraic, quantitative, geometric, graphical, and statistical reasoning. In this course, students will continue to enhance their algebraic reasoning skills when analyzing and applying a deep understanding of linear functions, sums and products of rational and irrational numbers, systems of linear inequalities, distance, midpoint, slope, area, perimeter, nonlinear equations and functions, quadratic expressions, equations and functions, exponential expressions, equations, and functions, and statistical reasoning. High school course content standards are listed by big ideas including Data and Statistical Reasoning, Probabilistic Reasoning, Functional and Graphical Reasoning, Patterning and Algebraic Reasoning, and Geometric and Spatial Reasoning.

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.
