Semester 1 of 2 – In Algebra 1, students build foundational skills they will need to succeed throughout their high school mathematics education. Throughout this course, students develop and hone reasoning and justification skills as they learn both the process for solving various problems and the why behind the process. In this course, students will encounter topics involving numbers and quantities, algebra, functions, statistics, and probability. With each topic, students will apply a deeper understanding of mathematical processes by modeling and solving application problems. Students will also complete corresponding projects on these topics, allowing them to demonstrate mastery of the content and skills they are learning. By the end of the course, students will have a strong grasp of thinking and reasoning abstractly and will be prepared for future high school-level mathematics courses.
