Success in Algebra 1 is widely considered to be a determining factor in success in upper-level mathematics coursework.  The skills in Advanced Algebra 1 build on algebraic thinking which students have experienced in kindergarten through middle school. Algebra 1 content includes arithmetic concepts, proportional reasoning, and functions. Graphing utilities (calculators, computers, and other technology tools) will be used to assist in teaching and learning. Advanced Algebra 1 provides instruction on all the Algebra 1 Standards and the following content from Algebra 2: absolute value equations and inequalities, simplifying and performing operations on radical expressions that include variables, and polynomial expressions with two variables. At the end of the year, students will take the Algebra 1 Standards of Learning test.
