Course Description
The student will use variables in setting up equations. The student will translate words and problems into
algebraic equations. The student will add and subtract positive and negative numbers by using a number line
and algebraic rules. The student will multiply, divide, distribute, and use the reciprocal of real numbers. The
student will solve equations for one variable by using addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, or a
combination of transformations. The student will add, subtract, and multiply polynomials. The student will
solve problems involving rate-time-distance and area. The student will factor integers, monomials, and
polynomials. The student will simplify, multiply/divide, add/subtract algebraic fractions. The student will do
ratio, proportion, and percent. The student will use a number of methods to solve systems of linear equations.
