Honors Algebra 1
Honors Algebra 1 Online High School Course
COURSE LENGTH:
Full Year (30 Sessions)
Course Overview
This is an honors level Algebra 1 course with a total of 11 modules. The 11 modules will be covered in 30 synchronous sessions. Some modules will be completed after one synchronous session, while others will be covered over multiple synchronous sessions. Students will be assessed on their ability to complete calculations, their ability to explain the concepts that they have learned, and finally to apply the concepts they have learned to real-world problems. Assignments will be given after every synchronous session, while assessments will be given, in general, after every two to three synchronous sessions. The course will move at a pace that will allow students who have successfully completed Pre-Algebra to extend their algebraic knowledge and skills by gaining a strong understanding of the concepts and topics covered during the Honors Algebra 1 course.
In this honors-level course, asynchronous assignments will require students to practice multiple skills and will often have multiple steps of parts. Students in this honors-level course are expected to complete asynchronous work fully and on time and to participate regularly during synchronous sessions. Students will be asked to reflect often on their learning.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
In addition to learning the mathematical concepts covered in this course, students will learn to think critically, persevere through difficult problems and concepts, justify their calculations and processes, and understand the unique language of mathematics. After the completion of the course, students will have learned and have a strong understanding of the following topics and how these topics might show up in their day-to-day lives:
Solving Equations and Inequalities
Linear Equations
Linear Functions
Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities
Piecewise Functions
Exponents and Exponential Functions
Polynomials and Factoring
Quadratic Functions
Solving Quadratic Equations
Working with Functions
Statistics
