COURSE DESCRIPTION
NCAA Eligible Course
In Algebra I, students explore roots, function patterns, graphs, equations, and inequalities. They will also transform and compare functions. Students will describe and translate graphic, algebraic, numeric, and verbal representations of relations and use those relationships to solve problems. Students will develop computational, procedural, and problem-solving skills throughout this course, building a solid foundation for further studies in mathematics.
In the honors variant of this course, students are challenged to master more in-depth content, tied to appropriate academic standards, in the same period as a traditional course, with a high level of rigor in both requirements and assessments. Students in the honors courses are also presented with a cumulative exam, the Semester Final, where they will be assessed on the aggregate of content presented throughout the semester.
TEACHER SERVICES
All course teachers are certified, subject-area content experts. The teacher will grade student assessments and provide detailed feedback. The course teacher is available to answer student questions via email, during scheduled office hours, or by virtual appointment. The teacher will carry out documented modifications and accommodations that are applicable to the online course. Progress monitoring and supplemental material will be provided by the teacher as needed.
