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 be required to take Algebra I as a freshman.
