Algebra 1 (Period 2)

Algebra is an introduction to the power of mathematical abstractions and symbolisms. In this course, students develop an understanding of variables, variable expressions, equations, and inequalities. A variety of methods are used to solve linear equations, non-linear equations, quadratics, and inequalities. A balanced approach of formal and informal investigations will help students to present solutions to traditional and real-world problems. Students are taught graphing which presents a pictorial representation of problems and tools to interpret expressions, equations and inequalities.
