Algebra I Part 1
Prerequisites: Mastery of problem solving techniques, integer operations, number theory, graphing, concept of variable, concept of equation and inequality, pattern recognition, proportional reasoning, and use of rational numbers.
Algebra I includes the study of algebraic concepts including operations with real numbers and polynomials; relations and functions; matrices; creation and application of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions; linear regression; using length and midpoint to solve problems. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software, is used regularly for instruction and assessment. This course is designed to help students develop the ability to reason abstractly. Students are expected to demonstrate proficiency with the graphics calculator. This course along with Algebra I Part 2 will fulfill the North Carolina high school graduation requirement for Algebra I. The final exam for this semester is a teacher-made exam. Students will take the Algebra I EOC test after taking Algebra I Part 2. The Standard Course of Study for Algebra I can be found at www.ncpublicschools.org/curriculum/.
