Description
The first half of a modern high school algebra sequence with a focus in seven major topics: transition from arithmetic to algebra, solving equations & inequalities, probability and statistics, proportional reasoning, linear equations and functions, systems of linear equations and inequalities, and operations on polynomials. Students enrolled in this course must take the WA State High School End of Course Algebra Assessment if they have not attempted it once already. Prerequisite: Must be working toward a high school diploma. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Select and justify functions and equations to model and solve problems
Solve problems that can be represented by linear functions, equations, and inequalities
Solve problems that can be represented by a system of two linear equations or inequalities.
Solve problems that can be represented by quadratic functions and equations
Solve problems that can be represented by exponential functions and equations
Know the relationship between real numbers and the number line, and compare and order real numbers with and without the number line
Recognize the multiple uses of variables, determine all possible values of variables that satisfy prescribed conditions, and evaluate algebraic expressions that involve variables
Interpret and use integer exponents and square and cube roots, and apply the laws and properties of exponents to simplify and evaluate exponential expressions
Determine whether approximations or exact values of real numbers are appropriate, depending on the context, and justify the selection
Use algebraic properties to factor and combine like terms in polynomials
Add, subtract, multiply, and divide polynomials
