Algebra 1 C/D builds on Algebra 1 A/B and introduces students to variables, algebraic expressions, equations, functions, inequalities, and their multiple representations. The students develop the ability to explore and solve real-world application problems, and communicate mathematical ideas clearly. This course lays the foundation for every subsequent course in mathematics. Success in Algebra I C/D must be encouraged and emphasized since it is an accurate indicator of future success.
Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs)
By the end of this course students will be able to:
• Represent math relationships using symbolic algebra • Identify slope from an equation, table of values, or graph • Interpret the role of the coefficients and constants on the graphs of linear and quadratic functions • Determine if functions are linear, quadratic, or exponential • Graph linear functions • Solve systems of equations and inequalities • Use rules of exponents to solve functions • Add and subtract polynomials • Factor polynomials • Evaluate radical expressions and equations
