Welcome to Algebra 1!
Students begin their
high school mathematics program with an integrated course that requires them to
use algebra in context to solve problems and investigate applications. Individual as well as collaborative projects and activities will
allow students to collect, analyze, and synthesize data in order to develop a
deeper understanding of concepts and how they are presented in everyday life. Topics
that will be covered throughout the course include Polynomials, Factoring, Linear Functions and Equations, Quadratic Functions and Equations, Inequalities, Sequences, Systems of Equations, Exponential
Functions and Equations, and Descriptive
Statistics. No longer will students be able to ask the age-old question, “When
am I ever going to use this?” This course provides a number of opportunities
for investigation and discovery in an effort to connect school and daily life.
