Prerequisites: Teacher Recommendation
This course will teach the first semester of Algebra 1 during the spring semester. Students are enrolled in this class if they are unsuccessful during the fall semester and need to relearn the material before moving on. Students who are successful will take Algebra S2 the following year to finish the course requirements. Algebra I is a rigorous preparation for advanced mathematics, stressing both structure and development of problem solving skills. It is designed for the student who plans to continue his/her education beyond high school. Students sequentially develop mastery of the real number system and the language and symbolism of algebra. Equations, inequalities, polynomials, functions, and graphing with special emphasis on problem-solving techniques, use of clear examples, abundant exercises, and consistent review make Algebra I both practical and vital for students.
Technology: Scientific calculators are required for this course.
