Algebra 1 is a fundamental course in mathematics that focuses on the study of algebraic operations and their applications. In this summer Algebra 1 course, students will learn the basics of algebraic expressions, equations, and inequalities and apply them to linear functions, graphing, and systems of equations. The course will begin with an introduction to variables, expressions, and equations, including how to solve equations using the four operations. Students will learn how to solve and graph linear equations and inequalities using slope and intercepts. After mastering the basics, students will move on to more complex topics, such as quadratic equations, polynomials, factoring, and rational expressions. They will also learn about the properties of exponents and roots, as well as how to work with scientific notation. Throughout the course, students will be expected to apply algebraic concepts to real-world problems and use critical thinking skills to solve challenging mathematical problems. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in algebra and be prepared to move on to higher-level math courses.
