Algebra 1 Academic Syllabus
This course is designed to build a skill set on manipulation of algebraic functions and equations.
1st Six-Weeks:
Foundations for Functions (Plotting, Graphing, Combining "like" terms)
Linear Equations and Inequalities in One Variable (Isolating a variable, cross line then change the sign)
