Algebra 1 is about looking for patterns, analyzing data, and making generalizations from that study. Therefore, students will spend time looking at variables, algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, functions, and their real-world representations. This math course lays the foundation for math literacy and for other math courses to come.
