The algebra curriculum has been revised to align with the current New York State Common Core Leaning Standards of 2013. It has been designed to improve the problem solving abilities of each student while continuing to develop mathematical skills, concepts, and computation. Critical thinking, organizational skills, and the ability to communicate effectively are also stressed throughout the year. It is intended that each student will obtain a better understanding of the material studied and attain the knowledge necessary to successfully continue in the high school mathematics program.
Throughout the school year, students will study the various topics, outlined below, through the use of individual, partnered and group work. Students will use various materials and resources in order to fully understand the covered concepts. It is my hope that all students will have a greater interest and appreciation for mathematics upon completion of this class.
