This course is designed to meet the needs of students who will be continuing their study of mathematics through all four years of high school and into college. Techniques and procedures of problem solving are stressed with emphasis on the understanding of concepts.

In the first semester, we'll review and build on the middle school math foundation needed for this year. We'll revisit linear functions from Math 8 and look at them in various forms. We'll solve systems of linear equations, and linear inequalities to wrap up the first semester.

In the second semester, we begin looking at polynomials, exponential functions and their applications, working though lots of applications. We wrap-up new material with quadratics and we spend lots of time learning how to solve them with many different methods.

You're going to learn a lot this year and I'll be there to help you!
