Description
This course is an intricately-designed, complete Algebra 1 Semester 1 curriculum. It incorporates all aspects of a traditional Algebra 1 first semester course and also includes a unit on basic statistics and probability.
There are 9 units in this course (listed below), which cover one semester of Algebra 1. 10 more units are provided in the Algebra 1 Semester 2 course (purchased separately) for a total of 19 units.
While
this course was designed to cater to high school Algebra 1 students, adult
education learners who are studying for High School Equivalency exams can also
benefit from the information provided in this course.
Similarly, teachers who would like supplemental material for their Algebra 1 classroom should take this course. If you are a teacher, feel free to download and use these PDFs in your own classrooms.
The units provided in this course are as follows:
1.) Real Numbers
2.) Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
3.) Algebra Basics
4.) Matrices
5.) Properties
6.) Solving Equations
7.) Formulas
8.) Ratios, Rates, and Proportions
9.) Statistics and Probability
Who this course is for:
- Students should take this course if they have already taken a Pre-Algebra or 8th grade mathematics course
- Algebra 1 teachers who would like supplemental material should take this course
- Adult Education students who are studying for the HSE/GED/HiSET/TASC should take this course
