Course Description

The purpose of this student-centered program is to prepare students for the state EOC in Math I. Math 1 is a building block to future Mathematics courses. Mathematical concepts will include linear expressions, equations, inequalities, systems of equations and inequalities, quadratics and statistics.  This year, our focus will be on turning all students into problem solvers.  Students will be encouraged to explore math from different perspective.  The most important skills you will need to be successful in this class are perseverance and a growth mindset.
