COURSES FOR CREDIT

 

ALGEBRA I

Grades 9–12

July 8–August 9, 2013

9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.

$1,250

Algebra I is an introductory course that places an emphasis on the systematic development of the language through which most of mathematics is communicated. It provides the foundations for a systematic way to represent mathematical relationships and analyze change, as well as the mathematical understanding to operate with concepts at an abstract level, and then apply those concepts in a process that fosters generalizations and insights beyond the original content. Topics covered are: properties of the number system, linear functions, inequalities, operations on real numbers and polynomials, exponents, radicals, and quadratics. Successful completion of this course prepares students for Geometry and Algebra II.

The study of functions and an extension of the concepts of Algebra I and many of the concepts of geometry are covered. Topics covered are: linear and quadratic equations and functions; systems of equations and inequalities; polynomials and rational polynomial expressions; polynomial functions; conic sections; exponential and logarithmic functions; probability and statistics. Prerequisite: Algebra I with a grade of C or better, or teacher recommendation.

 

SUMMER PACKETS

 

MATH PACKET
