Curriculum Framework
Common Core Algebra 1
Course Overview:
Common Core Algebra I (10, 11, 12) - 2 semesters - .50 credit each semester In this course emphasis is given to solving equations, factoring, exponents, and graphing. Students will study linear, quadratic and exponential functions. Geometry, probability, and statistics are used as setting for an algebraic application. Real life applications and modeling will be stressed throughout the course. A graphing calculator is required (TI-83 or TI-84, approximate cost: $100- $110). Prerequisite: Integrated I. This class meets one period a day for ½ unit of credit each semester.
