This course will be completed over one semester. The fundamental purpose of Algebra I is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in elementary school. In this course students will: deepen and extend understanding of solving equations and systems, compare the difference in behaviors between linear and non-linear relationships, engage in methods of analyzing, solving and using quadratic functions, and apply linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Competency in Algebra I is a state university admission requirement.
