This course involves practical applications of basic algebra concepts with a focus on hands-on activities. Verbal and written communication skills necessary for success in the job market will be stressed. Hands-on activities that stress geometric principles used in the work place is the foundation of this course. I is the first course in a sequence of three courses that integrates algebraic principles with geometry. This course emphasizes the relevance of Algebra in everday life by stressing problem solving, critical thinking, communication, and connections.
Geometry is the second course in a sequence of three courses that integrates algebra and geometry.
While emphasizing formal geometry, hands-on exploration and investigations lead students to the discovery of geometric concepts and theorems. Algebra II is the final course in a sequence of three integrated courses. This course emphasizes more advanced algebraic principles through connections to geometry and real-life applications. Successful completion will give a college bound student adequate background for the required course in college mathematics. This course is designed for the serious student.
