COURSE DESCRIPTION
Algebra I provides the core foundation for all higher-level mathematics courses. This course covers a full year of Algebra I in eight weeks with a primary goal of helping students transfer their concrete mathematical knowledge to more abstract algebraic concepts using variables. Students explore algebraic expressions, multi-step equations, linear functions, rational expressions, and quadratic functions. They discover how to write, solve, and graph linear and quadratic equations and develop fluency with rational numbers, various expressions, as well as analyzing and solving linear equations and inequalities. Students experience these concepts tabularly, graphically, and algebraically, and reinforce their understanding through example problems, practice assignments, and real-world applications where they solve problems and create new conjectures. Assessments include unit tests and quizzes, discussion prompts, and group and individual application problems. By the end of the course, students will have gained proficiency in critical thinking, pattern recognition, graphing techniques, and the clear communication of mathematical ideas.
Summer courses are for-credit opportunities for ambitious students to get a jump on the next academic year. Students participating in these courses should plan to devote 25-30 hours per week for eight weeks to their course. Students will receive grades and comments in these classes, which are the equivalent of year-long, high-school level courses. Because of the pacing and intensity of for-credit summer courses, there is little flexibility; students must be available and have internet access for all eight weeks of the course. WHAT STUDENTS SAY
