Algebra 1 is designed to give students a foundation for all future mathematics courses. This course will cover the fundamentals of algebraic problem-solving. Through the use of interactive lessons and modeling, students will explore: foundations of algebra, solving equations, solving inequalities, an introduction to functions, linear functions, systems of equations and inequalities, exponents and exponential functions, polynomials and factoring, quadratic functions and equations, radical expressions and equations, and data analysis and probability. Common Core standards will be taught and reinforced as the students learn to apply the concepts taught in real-life situations.
Section A and Section B have different instructors but cover the same course material.
PLEASE NOTE: both courses will be using OPENSTAX online textbooks. If you have a device available to access this free resource, please bring it along on your first day. If you do not have access to a device, you can learn more about Device Requests here.
