Course Description

The second semester of Algebra I introduces students to concepts that will serve as the foundation for their study of mathematics throughout high school and into college.  Students will explore the topics of linear inequalities, linear systems, quadratics, and exponential equations.  Students will demonstrate understanding numerically, graphically, analytically, and verbally through the use of assignments, written journals, unit tests, and a cumulative final exam.

Algebra I Core Objectives

  • The student understands the importance of the skills required to manipulate symbols in order to solve problems and uses the necessary algebraic skills required to simplify algebraic expressions and solve equations and inequalities in problem situations.
  • The student understands that a function represents a dependence of one quantity on another and can be described in a variety of ways.  
  • The student formulates equations and inequalities based on linear functions, uses a variety of methods to solve them, and analyzes the solutions in terms of the situation.
  • The student uses the properties and attributes of functions.  
  • The student demonstrates an understanding of linear functions. 
  • The student formulates and uses linear equations and inequalities.
  • The student describes functional relationships in a variety of ways. 
  • The student demonstrates an understanding of the properties and attributes of functions. 
  • The student demonstrates an understanding of quadratic and other nonlinear functions.
  • The student gathers and records data, or uses data sets, to determine functional (systematic) relationships between quantities.  
  • The student represents relationships among quantities using concrete models, tables, graphs, diagrams, verbal descriptions, equations, and inequalities.
