Algebra 1 introduces students to the foundational concepts of mathematics: variables, algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, functions, exponent rules and manipulation, polynomials, solving and graphing linear equations, solving and graphing two variable inequalities, solving systems of equations, radicals, word problems, solving and graphing quadratic equations, and factoring. Students will apply math concepts to solve real-world problems. Graphing calculators will be an integral part of all instruction.
