About This Activity
The fundamental purpose of the Algebra I course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. This course includes standards from the conceptual categories of Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, and Statistics and Probability. Course instructional time focuses on four critical areas: (1) deepen and extend understanding of linear and exponential relationships; (2) contrast linear and exponential relationships with each other and engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions; (3) extend the laws of exponents to square and cube roots; and (4) apply linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Twelve modules cover the following topics: Expressions, Equations and Functions; Linear Equations; Linear Functions; Equations of Linear Functions.Prerequisites and Criteria: Students must maintain an average grade of 90% or higher in Math 8 during their first semester to qualify for enrollment in this accelerated math course. To receive credit, students must complete both summer sessions, with each day of attendance covering one week of the curriculum. Due to the fast-paced nature of the course, students may not exceed 1.5 days of absences per semester for any reason, including illness or travel. Exceeding this limit may result in removal from the course without the option for a refund. A minimum grade of C is required to pass and earn credit. Please note that this course is not intended for remediation, and grades will be recorded on transcripts. Students who do not pass must retake the course in the fall semester. By enrolling, students and parents acknowledge these requirements. First semester math grades must be emailed to sanmarinosa@mail.com at the time of registration for acceptance into the course.
