Mathematics
This course is designed to prepare a student for higher level mathematics. It contains a review of the real number system followed by units on solving linear equations in one variable, operations with polynomials,exponential properties. The student is expected to solve linear equations in two variables, graph linear equations, and work with operations dealing with square roots. Emphasis will be placed on critical thinking in the classroom.
