1090 Algebra 1 Study Skills (9)

2.5 Credits 40 Minutes, 1 Semester This course will run concurrently with the Algebra 1 course. The study of Algebra requires students to explore the more abstract concepts of numeric relationships, representations and symbolism. The logical reasoning abilities developed during an algebra course promote deeper critical thinking and problem-solving prowess. This course will focus on supplemental curriculum to support the learning in the study of Algebra. Placement is by the Administrative Admissions Committee and is determined after a review by the Department Chairperson using student test scores, report cards and elementary school recommendations. This course will receive a Pass/Fail grade.
