Algebra I A and B
(Units: 0.5 per semester)

In this course offered via the Web, students learn about algebraic concepts such as integers, linear equations, linear inequalities, and factoring. As students work through each interactive lesson, they will have the opportunity to complete several self-check activities, participate in newsgroup discussions, and complete journal entries. Basic computer skills are recommended.

Students will develop the following fundamental algebraic skills:

• Simplify and evaluate expressions
• Manipulate polynomials
• Solve and graph linear functions
• Factor polynomials
• Apply algebraic problem solving strategies to real-world situations
• Use graphing technology to solve, interpret, analyze, compare linear functions, inequalities, and absolute value graphs
• Communicate mathematically by expressing ideas, analyzing situations, explaining procedures for correct computation, and describing results numerically and graphically
• Use the Internet to gain useful information
• Develop a sense of class membership, using newsgroups and e-mail to communicate with teacher and classmates.
