General Information

Description

You’re invited to collaborate in a collaborative classroom: a classroom where knowledge and learning is SHARED! Research shows that learning take place more effectively when students work together, use dialogue, and discuss different strategies or perspectives to become knowledgeable independent learners. This year will be full of challenges in which you will be equipped to overcome and conquer.

Course Materials

Course Description/Outline

Algebra IA is part one of the first course in a sequence of three required high school courses designed to ensure career and college readiness. The course represents a discrete study of algebra with correlated statistics applications. The standards in the three-course high school sequence specify the mathematics that all students should study in order to be college and career ready. Additional mathematics content is provided in fourth credit courses and advanced courses including pre-calculus, calculus, advanced statistics, discrete mathematics, and mathematics of finance courses. High school course content standards are listed by conceptual categories including Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. Conceptual categories portray a coherent view of high school mathematics content; a student’s work with functions, for example, crosses a number of traditional course boundaries, potentially up through and including calculus. Standards for Mathematical Practice provide the foundation for instruction and assessment.
