Algebra 1 follows a structured curriculum that gradually introduces algebraic concepts, building upon foundational arithmetic skills. The Algebra 1 curriculum is designed to help students build a strong foundation in algebra, covering topics like variables, expressions, equations, and functions. The primary focus is on assisting students in developing both a conceptual understanding of mathematical principles and the procedural fluency needed to solve problems effectively. It emphasizes understanding the underlying concepts of algebra, not just memorizing procedures, and incorporates activities, examples, and real-world applications to make learning algebra more engaging and relevant.
