College Prep:
This course begins with a review of the essential skills of arithmetic as they relate to the study of algebra. Algebra concepts are introduced in a step-by-step approach with many examples illustrating each new skill. Frequent sets of exercises and real-life applications allow students to practice what they have learned and see the relevance of what they are studying. Topics include: expressions, equations and functions; solving, graphing, and writing linear equations; solving and writing linear inequalities; probability and data analysis; systems of equations; exponents and exponential functions; and quadratic equations and functions. Instruction, practice, and assessments will be presented in a variety of formats, such as multiple-choice, short answer, and open-ended. There will also be extensive use of technology including the graphing calculator throughout the year.
