Grade: 9 (*Students MAY receive credit for this course when taken in 8th grade, provided the proper paperwork is returned to the counseling office.)

Prerequisite:  9^th grade: students will be assigned based on performance in current math class

Length of Course: Year

Descriptions:  A one-year course designed as an introduction to algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.  Algebra I will focus primarily with terminology and basic methods of the study of known and unknowns.  The topics covered are:

1. The 4 fundamental operations on real numbers and their use in the solution of simple equations and related problems.

2. Polynomials, factoring, and fractions, leading to the solution of more complicated problems.  Division of polynomials.

3. Solving equations with more than one unknown and graphing of straight lines in the coordinate plane.

4. Work with irrational numbers, quadratic functions and equations.

This course is designed in part to prepare students for admission to a university.
