This is the first course in a two-part Algebra sequence. Successful completion of this course will allow the student to move to Algebra 1 Experienced the following year. The curriculum will emphasize improving problem solving skills especially in real life situations. The topics which will be covered are simple linear algebraic equations, basic operations with integers and rational numbers and graphs. Ways will be presented to improve math study skills including organization, work habits and reading of math material.
Placement is based on teacher recommendation.
This is the second course in a two-part Algebra sequence. It will include a study of linear systems, quadratics, exponents and functions after a brief review of areas studied in Algebra 1 Beginning. Successful completion of this course at the ninth grade level will satisfy the Algebra credit needed to enable the student to continue in the four-year high school math sequence necessary for unconditional entrance into the University of Missouri and many other select colleges and universities. This is Algebra in one year. The topics covered in this course include the fundamental operations with real numbers, solutions of linear and quadratic equations, polynomials, factoring, algebraic fractions, inequalities, graphing in the coordinate plane and radical expressions.
