Publisher's Description of Horizons Algebra 1 Student Book
Explore the world of algebraic concepts with the Horizons Algebra I Student Book! Making advanced math more appealing and easier with eye-catching illustrations and an easy-to-follow lesson format, this colorful Alpha Omega curriculum reviews factoring, prime numbers, scientific notation, and algebraic expressions, while introducing your child to systems of equations, rational expressions, systems of linear equations, basic operations with monomials and polynomials, quadratic equations with radicals, graphs of exponential functions, and more.
Each teacher-directed Horizons Math lesson in the student book includes a teaching box that outlines the new concept being introduced, a classwork section that reinforces the information with teacher-guided practice questions, and an activities section with problems that cover the current lesson topic and concepts from previous lessons. The Horizons Algebra I Student Book also prepares your child for standardized testing with a set of college test prep questions that follows each block of ten lessons. Plus, the student book contains 16 sports and real-life applications that give more meaning to math.
Category Description for Horizons Algebra
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.

Why did you choose this?
love curriculum
This is the textbook my son's class is using.
Have used Horizons since K, and it worked well for my oldest.
We chose this item because we liked the layout of the material. They seemed to explain it clearly and Algebra is a subject we need as much help as we can get.
