Syllabus

Course:  Math 1

Description: 

The main goal of Math I/Algebra I is to develop fluency in working with linear equations. Students will extend their experiences with tables, graphs, and equations and solve linear equations and inequalities and systems of linear equations and inequalities. Students will extend their knowledge of the number system to include irrational numbers. Students will generate equivalent expressions and use formulas. Students will simplify polynomials and begin to study quadratic relationships. Students will use technology and models to investigate and explore mathematical ideas and relationships and develop multiple strategies for analyzing complex situations.  Students will apply mathematical skills and make meaningful connections to life’s experiences.

This is a course that reviews algebra in context and allows students to RETAIN their mathematical skills as they move to take Math 2. The students on this course will leave with a better appreciation for the utility of mathematics. You will be required to take an NC Math 1 EOC exam on this course.
