Algebra 1, Parts 1 and 2

Algebra 1, in two parts, is offered for students with significant needs requiring additional support in mathematics content knowledge. This course takes an interactive, hands-on approach to developing Algebra concepts. Using graphing technology, the data cycle, and real-world applications as a foundation, this two-part series emphasizes meaningful connections between Algebra and other mathematical domains, including arithmetic, geometry, and statistics. Algebra 1, Part 1 and Algebra 1, Part 2 are each year-long classes. Schools may double block the courses so that they meet every day for a full block of time over the school year. Schools may also allow students to take Part 1 in the 9th grade year and Part 2 in the 10th grade. The options available at each school are determined after student course selections and based on student needs. This course has an associated Standards of Learning (SOL) test to be taken at the conclusion of Algebra 1, Part 2.
