Algebra 1

Algebra provides a systematic way to represent mathematical relationships and analyze change which will include the use of the data cycle. Students will make connections and build relationships between Algebra and arithmetic, geometry, and probability and statistics. Connections will also be made to other subject areas through practical applications. Students are required to use Algebra as a tool for representing and solving a variety of practical problems. Tables and graphs will be used to interpret Algebraic expressions, equations, and inequalities and to analyze behaviors of functions. Graphing utilities, computers, and other appropriate technology tools will be used to assist in teaching and learning. This course has an associated Standards of Learning (SOL) test. Students will participate in these tests only when they have not yet earned sufficient credit for graduation and/or satisfied federal testing requirements.
