ALGEBRA 1

Algebra is a year long mathematics course where learners explore concepts that develop an understanding of mathematical relationships, functions, and models, both in and out of context, with an emphasis on problem solving. In the exploration of concepts, symbols are used in place of numbers to describe and generalize patterns and relationships. Learners utilize conceptual understanding, skills, multiple representations, and strategies that address linear functions, linear systems of equations, one-variable equations and inequalities, and use statistical models to analyze relationships represented by data, and apply these concepts in real world situations or to prepare for the PSAT. The TI-84 Plus calculator is required for this course.
