Foundations of Algebra Description:

This course will be a condensed version of the Algebra 1 Regents course that students took in their 9th grade. Throughout the course, students will develop a deeper understanding of linear, exponential, and quadratic functions and make connections among patterns of change. They will use the context to understand mathematics and develop conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills that can be applied to solve new problems. The course standards align with the NYS Learning Standards for Algebra 1, and successful completion of the course will prepare students for the Algebra Regents Exam (last administration of Algebra Regents CC in Jan 2024). It is intended to be offered as a semester-long course in double periods or block schedule.
