Also, applied algebra would be directed toward students who have already taken pre-algebra, but would not quite be ready for algebra 1. Through the duration of this class, it would cover the use of variables, adding and subtracting of positive and negative integers, reasoning of geometry, statistics, solving algebraic equations and inequalities, polynomials, and graphing. Because of the depth of algebra that this goes into, it would also fulfill the algebra requirements for graduation. In addition to algebraic concepts and skills, the student will become aware of the role of deductive reasoning and appreciate the need for precision language. The purpose of algebra is to learn efficient procedure for the solution of some rather complex problems.
Homework is required in order to develop skill in the problem solving procedure.
This is the same class as Algebra I except for the fact that it is taught in reverse order. I Geometry is a study of plane figures. Figures which have only length and width are known as plane figures or surfaces. Thus geometry is a course in which squares, triangles, parallelograms, rectangles, trapezoids, circles, parallel lines and a few trigonometric facts and principles are studied. The pupil must learn certain basic definitions, axioms, postulates, and theorems which he is taught how to use in solution of problems.
