This course emphasizes the development of skills, techniques and applications that deal with number relations, linear equations, formulas, polynomials, graphing, systems of equations, factoring, rational expressions, data analysis, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students will learn the skills associated with the mathematical process TEKS: problem-solving, appropriate use of tools, mathematical communication, multiple representations, reasoning, proof, and justification. Successful completion of this sequence will prepare students for entry into a geometry course.

This course is designed to meet the needs of students who will be continuing their study of honors 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.

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