This yearlong course is for students who lack basic foundational skills and concepts for success in Math 1. The course will focus on developing student mastery of arithmetic and pre-algebra standards, supplementing and supporting the core curriculum while teaching study skills. This class is in addition to a student’s Math 1 course and is elective credit.
Math 1 is the first year course for our college prep sequence. The intent of the course is to develop skill and understanding of the language of algebra, functions, number operations, linear and exponential sequences, solving and graphing equations and inequalities involving real-world concepts, ratios, the pythagorean theorem, intro to parallel and perpendicular lines, parallel lines cut by a traversal, and similar triangles. Simple exponential functions, rigid transformations in the plane, elementary data analysis, and problem solving. Through the study of algebra, geometry and statistics, students develop an understanding of the symbolic language of mathematics and the sciences. Math 1 has many concrete examples and helps students develop the skills and concepts to help solve a wide variety of real world problems.
