As in Mathematics Studies 1, individual accomplishment is an important consideration. This course includes a primary focus on problem solving with direct application to the student's needs. Topics will be an extension of career and consumer problems, as identified in Mathematics Studies 2, with a gradual increase in the complexity of the problems. As in Mathematics Studies 1 and 2, individual accomplishment is an important consideration. It is designed to help the students develop an understanding and appreciation of the algebraic structure of the real number system.
Problem solving is emphasized throughout the course.
Problem solving is integrated into the study of each of the many different kinds of open sentences. Algebra 1 is the first course of a sequential math program designed for students from grades 9 to 12. This course is designed to help the student discover, by means of logical thought processes, important facts concerning figures in two and three dimensions, and to develop these facts showing their relationships to one another and their applications to problem-solving. Applications provide for reinforcement and expansion of algebraic principles previously learned. Algebra 2 and teacher recommendation.
