Pacer Portal . . . These basic skills, a few mathematical laws, and the whole and rational number systems are included in this course. Emphasis is given to integers, rational numbers, simple equation solving techniques, basic geometric concepts, and fundamental concepts of probability and statistics. I is a yearlong course for students who have mastered the fundamental arithmetic skills and is considered the initial step for a further study in higher mathematical concepts. This course is an entry level course for the advanced math students.
Emphasis is placed on equation solving techniques in one or two variables.
Equation and inequality types encountered include first and second degree polynomials, absolute value, rational and radical. A functional approach is used to integrate algebraic concepts with graphing in the Cartesian coordinate system. Formal Geometry Formal Geometry is a yearlong course. Its purpose is to develop rational thinking in the writing of formal proofs to solve problems using definitions, postulates, and theorems. It also includes geometric constructions.
