Honors Algebra I (B)
Course Description:
This class constitutes the Algebra I requirements from the State of Michigan as well as National Common Core State Standards. Algebra I is the study of functions and representations. Key areas of study include linear, quadratic, radical, and exponential functions and their graphs, equations, and solving skills including factoring quadratics. It includes the broadening of the study of linear relationships including piecewise functions, systems of equations, and formalized function notation. Linear regression, correlation, statistics, and probability are part of the data unit. Exponential and quadratic function families are deepened to include the rules of exponents, and standard and vertex forms of quadratic functions.
