This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Algebra II and are looking to pursue a transitional math pathway after high school. Students who are looking to satisfy collegiate math requirements while pursuing a less math-intensive field of study would benefit from this course. Intermediate Algebra - Transitional Math covers operations and applications dealing with linear and quadratic functions, exponents, polynomial functions, factoring, rational expressions, logarithms, rational exponents, and radicals. This course differs from the traditional Intermediate Algebra in the prerequisite requirements to enter, and the scope of courses a student will have access to after completion. Scope and sequence of curriculum between the two courses will be identical. Successful completion of this course will allow students to transition into one of three math pathways after high school as outlined by the Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness Act (“PWR Act”).
Note: This course cannot be used to satisfy HHS math graduation requirements. It must be taken after all math graduation requirements have been met, and will count as elective credit.
Format: Traditional
