This course continues with the concepts of rational numbers, positive and negative exponents, problem solving, writing and evaluating written expressions, and working with equations. Students continue to build on earlier skills,working with single–two step word problems and gradually progress to solving multi-step algebraic problems, utilizing various strategies. Students are also introduced to solving and graphing linear equations, defining slope and y intercept, and mixed uniform rate work problems. Basic geometry, Pythagorean Theorem, defining angles, perimeter, and areas of various geometric shapes will be continued.
Competencies:
1) Student will simplify and evaluate numerical and algebraic expression utilizing order of operations,
distributive property, rules of exponents and absolute value.
