Algebra I
Algebra I is the beginning of your journey to the world of higher mathematics, where the rules of arithmetic are expanded to variables and properties of mathematics are explored. Pairs of numbers form graphic representations that bring us a powerful visualization of relations. You will develop a more sophisticated way of dealing with word problems by applying algebra. In this course you will also learn how to use the graphing calculator, a tool that will be used in all of your math classes from this point forward.
