Algebra I is the first mathematics course in the three-year sequence required for high school graduation. This course will assist students in developing the skills and processes needed to successfully solve problems in a variety of settings. In the course, students will study such topics as linear equations with one variable, quadratic, absolute value and exponential functions, and coordinate geometry and systems of equations. Right triangle trigonometry, elementary probability theory, data analysis including measures of central tendency and visual representations of data will be studied, an understanding of correlation and causation will be developed, and reasonable lines of best fit will be used to make predictions. At the end of the course students will sit for the Common Core Algebra Regents exam. This class has a Lab Period for student support.
Prerequisites
Score of two on the NYS 8th Grade Mathematics Assessment and a Final Average in Math 8 of 75 or higher.
