This is the first mathematics course leading to a Regents diploma. To prepare for the Regents exam, this course covers the major common core learning standards for Algebra I. Units of study include Relationships between Quantities, Linear and Exponential Relationships, Descriptive Statistics, Expressions and Equations, and Quadratic Functions and Modeling.
Students scheduled for Algebra 1F will also be scheduled for a lab bell that meets every other day to support their needs in mathematics.
