Course Description
Course Description
In this course students will learn about variables, algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, functions, and all their multiple representations. Students will develop the ability to explore and solve real-world application problems, demonstrate the appropriate use of graphing calculators, and communicate mathematical ideas clearly. This course lays the foundation for mathematical literacy that will help students be successful in every subsequent course in mathematics.
