Algebra I is a course that introduces students to advanced mathematical thinking. This course will prepare you for many courses such as geometry and advanced algebra. This course has an emphasis on linear relationships and functions and their use in the real world. Throughout this course you will learn about topics including, but not limited to: algebraic expressions, linear equations, linear functions, linear relations, linear inequalities, systems of linear equations and inequalities, polynomials, factoring, quadratic and exponential functions, radical functions and geometry, rational functions and equations, data analysis, and probability. In this class we will explore the use of a scientific calculator. A calculator is not required nor will it be used every day.
