Description
This course is a study of the topics of Algebra I designed to develop the algebraic concepts and processes that can be used to solve a variety of real-world mathematics problems. The content will include: properties of the real number system; varied means for analyzing and expressing patterns, relations and functions; variables, algebraic expressions and polynomials; geometric concepts; set operations; dimensional analysis; data analysis concepts and techniques; and varied solution strategies, algebraic and graphic, solutions for inequalities, linear and quadratic equations, and systems of equations. Calculators and computers will serve as instructional tools in concept development.
Credit in Algebra I precludes credit in Algebra IA and Algebra IB, Algebra I Honors, Applied Mathematics I and II, and Integrated Mathematics I and II.
Prerequisite: N/A
