Basic Algebra A/B
Basic Algebra A/B is a one year course offered within the Special Education Department, which is designed to provide students with learning disabilities the individualized instruction necessary for them to benefit from their education. This course will prepare students for Basic Algebra C/D or Algebra C/D in the General Education setting. The fundamental purpose of the Algebra A/B course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. The instructional pacing has been altered to provide the opportunity to allow for depth versus breadth of the content standards including standards from the conceptual categories of Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, and Statistics and Probability. These topics include operations with real numbers, solving linear equations, applications of linear equations, exponential and rational expressions, factoring, graphing linear equations with two variables, solving systems of linear equations, and properties of exponents. Students testing at proficient levels for this course should be enrolled in a general education Algebra I course. Successful completion of Algebra 1 or Algebra AB/CD is a graduation requirement.
