Brief Course Description:
First year
Algebra continues the Pre-Algebra transition from arithmetic to
higher levels of abstraction. Extended emphasis is placed on
the language of algebra and the order of operations used to
evaluate, simplify, and solve sophisticated algebraic
expressions and equations. Some of the major topics include,
but are not limited to, solving linear and quadratic equations
and inequalities, factoring, operations with algebraic fractions
and radical expressions, solving systems of linear equations,
graphs of linear equations, and an introduction to functions and
relations. Applications of algebraic techniques in solving real
world situations is a constantly recurring theme. When
appropriate, technology is used to motivate concepts, gain
insights, and enhance student learning.
