Particular emphasis is placed upon geometric proofs. Class activities include lecture and demonstration, group work, problem-solving practice and daily assignments. A cumulative test is given at the end of each quarter. Grades are determined primarily by scores on tests and quizzes. Major units include properties of the real numbers system, polynomials and factoring, functions and relations, solution of equations and inequalities in one, two, and three variables, irrational numbers, solution of quadratic equations, elementary analytic geometry, and complex numbers.
Emphasis is placed upon problem solving.
Activities include lecture, demonstration, group work, and problem-solving practice both in class and outside of class. Assignments are given daily. Grades are determined by the student's scores on tests and quizzes. This course is designed for the college-bound student needing a basis for work in higher math. Major units include polynomials and factoring, elementary concepts of relations and functions, solution of equations and inequalities in one and two variables, solution of systems of equations and inequalities, irrational numbers, solution of quadratic equations, elementary analytic geometry, and complex numbers.
