Algebra I

This is a college preparatory high school mathematics class. Algebra is the most important high school math course your student will take as all other math courses are based on the skills learned in this course. The course will cover pre-algebra review, working with real numbers, solving equations and problems, polynomials, factoring polynomials, fractions, applying fractions, introduction to functions, systems of linear equations, inequalities, rational and irrational numbers, and quadratic functions. There is no prerequisite, however students are asked to complete a placement test. The test can be found at: http://group.calvertschool.org/website/documentlibrary/HS04AlgebraPlacementTest.pdf. Those who have completed a previous course in pre-Algebra will be the most successful. The textbook is McDougal Littell Algebra: Structure and Method: Student Edition Book 1. Students should be in 8th grade or higher. 7th grade students will be accepted by teacher permission only.
