This course focuses on solving, graphing, and writing linear equations and inequalities; performing operations with polynomials, including factoring; distinguishing among linear, exponential, and quadratic functions; and applying these concepts to a variety of problem-solving situations. The course is designed to prepare students for college-level mathematics coursework.
Students will take the mandatory Algebra I End of Course (EOC) Exam at the completion of this course. Students must score a level of Proficient or Advanced to receive high school credit. Students who do not score Proficient or Advanced on the EOC as an 8th grader will receive a high school elective credit and will be required to take Algebra I as a freshman.
