The course prepares students for more advanced study in algebra as students solve linear equations and systems of equations, work with radical and integer exponents, gain a conceptual understanding of functions, and use functions to model quantitative relationships. To prepare students for more advanced study in geometry, the course emphasizes the Pythagorean theorem and a deepening exploration of similarity and congruence.Semester 1 The course semester prepares students for more advanced study in algebra as students solve linear equations and systems of equations, work with radical and integer exponents, gain a conceptual understanding of functions, and use functions to model quantitative relationships. Semester 2 This semester to prepare students for more advanced study in geometry, the course emphasizes the Pythagorean theorem and a deepening exploration of similarity and congruence. When enrolling in the full year option of this course it will be delivered in two semesters. Transcripts will reflect each semester separately
