Description
ALGEBRA I: Eighth grade students continue the study of algebraic concepts. A high school level graphing calculator is recommended. Students will study the properties and operations of real numbers, adding positive and negative numbers, and adding decimals and percent. They will also study mathematical operations of fractions, linear equations, exponents, absolute value and scientific notation. They solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division equations as well as solving two step equations and equations involving parenthesis. Students learn to solve equations and rate problems with variables on both sides. Inequalities, compound inequalities, and inequalities with absolute values are learned. Students will also study the Cartesian coordinate system, verifying solutions, slope, graphing lines, and writing equations of lines in slope intercept form and transforming to standard form. Exponents, square roots, polynomials and quadratic equations are taught. Students will learn simplifying rational expressions and solving rational equations as well as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing radicals. Note: this course may be used to meet requirements for High School Algebra.
