Course description

Algebra I will focus on the concepts of linear algebraic functions and relationships. Other topics include the concepts of systems of linear equations and inequalities; polynomials; quadratic equations; quadratic functions; radical and rational functions. The course will be completed over two semesters. Competency in Algebra 1 is a prerequisite for Geometry. Students who earn below 70% will not be eligible to take the next level course. Core curriculum courses are designed for students to access the general curriculum with appropriate accommodations. This course is taught by a highly qualified special education teacher.
Standards alignment:
HS: High School – Algebra HS.A-APR: Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions
•HS.A-APR.A: Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials
•HS.A-APR.A.1: Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers; namely; they are closed under the operations of addition; subtraction; and multiplication; add; subtract; and multiply polynomials.
•HS.A-APR.B: Understand the relationship between zeros and factors of polynomials
•HS.A-APR.B.3: Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available; and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial.
HS.A-CED: Creating Equations
•HS.A-CED.A: Create equations that describe numbers or relationships
•HS.A-CED.A.1: Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions; and simple rational and exponential functions.
•HS.A-CED.A.2: Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
•HS.A-CED.A.3: Represent constraints by equations or inequalities; and by systems of equations and/or inequalities; and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context. For example; represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods.
•HS.A-CED.A.4: Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest; using the same reasoning as in solving equations. For example; rearrange Ohm's law
