The solutions to linear equations and inequalities, simplifying exponents and polynomials, and solving second degree equations using factoring are topics studied. Students are prepared for success in college-level mathematics. They study basic operations on algebraic fractions and irrational expressions. Students graph the solutions to linear equations, and apply integrated problem solving strategies using quadratic equations and systems of equations. Students reinforce their knowledge of algebraic concepts and hone their problem solving skills as required for MATH 1111.
Students build their vocabulary skills and literal comprehension.
Recreational reading is encouraged. Students develop independent word attack skills and effective vocabularies. Emphasis is placed on developing basic proficiencies in using comprehension skills required in reading for understanding. Students meeting specific course objectives will be allowed to attempt exit testing for Learning Support Reading. Students strengthen their reading skills in preparation for the Regents' Test.
