Introduction to Algebra

A thorough introduction to Algebra for students in grades 6-9 who have completed our Pre-Algebra class. This course is designed to give students a strong foundation in the Algebra concepts that will be built on in subsequent courses. The curriculum focuses on inequality and system of equations; ratios, percent, and proportions; linear functions; factoring, quadratic equations, and functions; general functions, sequence, and series; polynomials, exponentials, and logarithms. Students will be prepared to tackle more advanced Algebra learning.
