Take the unknowns out of advanced math with the Horizons Algebra I Set from Alpha Omega Publications! Daily lesson topics include properties of equality, factoring and scientific notation, basic operations with monomials and polynomials, and other advanced math-building concepts like complex fractions and rational expressions, quadratic functions, exponential growth, compound inequalities, and more. To make algebra come to life, this year-long course includes sections on today's sports activities and other real-life applications before each set of ten lessons.
This Christian curriculum comes complete with one consumable student book divided into 160 lessons and a student tests and resources book with 16 tests, four quarterly exams, 80 practice worksheets, and algebra square manipulatives, as well as a time-saving teacher's guide complete with answer keys, a readiness test, and a scope and sequence. Plus, each block of ten lessons in the Horizons Algebra I Set contains a challenging set of problems that prepares students for the rigors of standardized math testing.
Using the same format as the pre-algebra in the Horizons series, Algebra continues the consistency of staying with one program. Students will explore math through sports and real-life applications throughout the 160 user-friendly lessons. The Horizons Algebra Set includes everything you need to do the course - Student Book (consumable workbook), Teacher Guide, and tests/resource guide. Topics to be covered in this course include exponents & powers, absolute value, radical expressions, multiplying and dividing monomials and polynomials, the FOIL Method, factoring trinomials, as well as solving, writing, and graphing linear equations. Interviews are found in the Algebra I course (just as in the pre-algebra) of people who use math in everyday life - some are more unusual and might present options for careers not yet thought of by your student.
For my oldest son to complete this summer to be ahead when going back to school.
I have used Horizons Pre-Algebra for a number of years in a home school Co-Op and really like the format. I am looking forward to using Algebra 1 for the first time this year.
We used the pre-algebra curriculum and it's excellent.
Used it with my other two students and they excelled. One is now an engineer.
