Algebra 1
High School
Mathematics
Course Description:
The fundamental purpose of the Algebra I course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. Students will analyze and explain the process of solving an equation, justify the process used in solving a system of equations, and develop fluency in writing, interpreting, and translating among various forms of linear equations and inequalities. Students will learn function notation and develop the concepts of domain and range; focus on linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, including sequences; and also explore absolute value, step, and piecewise-defined functions. Lastly, students will strengthen their ability to see structure in and create quadratic and exponential expressions by extending the laws of exponents to rational exponents involving square and cube roots.
