Algebra I Syllabus Instructor: Ms. Olszewski Email: [email protected] Phone: 814-874-6300 Room: 210 Course Description Algebra 1 introduces the student to variables, algebraic expressions, equations, functions, inequalities, and their graphical representation. The student develops the ability to: explore and solve mathematical problems, think critically, work cooperatively with others, and communicate mathematical ideas clearly. Course Practices: As aligned with the Common Core Standards, Students will be expected to… 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of patterns or structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
