Algebra 1 continues the study of algebraic concepts. It includes operations with polynomials and matrices, creation and application of linear functions and relations, algebraic representations of geometric relationships, and an introduction to nonlinear functions. Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software, should be used regularly for instruction and assessment.

Prerequisites

• Operate with the real numbers to solve problems.
• Find, identify, and interpret the slope and intercepts of a linear relation.
• Visually determine a line of best fit for a given scatterplot; explain the meaning of the line; and make predictions using the line.
• Collect, organize, analyze, and display data to solve problems.
• Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems.

Hi, parents, I usually email student progress reports weekly.   If you would like to receive a weekly report and I don’t already have your email address, please email me at rebekah.baxter@clovergardenschool.com.  Thank you!

Hi, students and parents, I’ve compiled some links on this page that you will find useful this year.  To the left, you can find practice problems for the North Carolina End-of-Course (EOC) Tests, and you can also find online resources that correspond to our math textbooks to help prepare for our chapter tests.  We will be using Study Island again this year.  Study Island is a web-based state test preparation program, and you can find that link to the right, as well as some links to various helpful and fun math web sites.

You can always email, call (extension 337), or visit me if you ever have any questions or comments!  I’m looking forward to a great year!
