EMath Algebra 1
These lessons introduce polynomials as analogous to the integers and multiple parallel are drawn to the integers throughout the unit. Fluency skills are emphasized throughout the unit. These skills include adding, multiplying, and factoring polynomials. Applications problems are given in terms of primarily area models.
These lessons introduce quadratic polynomials from a basic perspective. We then build on the notion of shifting basic parabolas into their vertex form. Completing the square is used as a fundamental tool in finding the turning point of a parabola. Finally, the zero product law is introduced as a way to find the zeroes of a quadratic function.
This unit emphasizes basic root work and its applications in solving quadratic equations with irrational roots. Simplifying square roots is added due to New York State requirements.
This unit starts from the perspective of how we show the distribution, the central tendencies, and the variation within a data set. It then moves onto bivariate data analysis both by hand and with the calculator.
