Algebra I

This course is designed for students who, for various reasons, have incomplete mastery of algebra entering the 9th Grade. Because algebra is the foundation for most mathematics they will encounter in the future, students who take this course benefit tremendously from securing these important concepts. Care is taken to enrich the familiar curriculum so that the experience feels less like repetition and more like extension. Instruction is varied to suit the needs of individual students. Topics include working with algebraic expressions, linear equations, systems of equations, quadratic equations and factoring, exponents, radicals, inequalities, and graphing. Applications, projects, and other special topics may be incorporated throughout the year at the instructor’s discretion.
