Recommendations: Successful completion of Prealgebra. A TI 83 or a TI 84 calculator is required.
This is the first course in a series of required High School mathematics courses. Algebra 1 is the critical foundational course for all other High School mathematics courses. Students will solve multi-step equations and inequalities within the real number system. Students will deepen and extend knowledge of functions by comparing and contrasting linear, quadratic, and exponential phenomena. Students extend knowledge of exponent rules and applications and model and analyze polynomials, quadratic equations, rational and radical expressions and equations. Lastly, students use statistics for describing variability in data and for making informed decisions.
