Course Description: This course serves as a transition between Pre-Algebra and Algebra to solidify pre-algebra skills while learning to solve math problems algebraically and learn the elementary concepts of algebra which is also applied to basic geometry. Other topics include fractions, order of operations, ratios, proportions, exponents, roots, unit conversions, probability, Pythagorean Theorem, and more. More than half of the lessons are covered in the first semester. The second semester is supplemented with worksheets to focus on a different variety of word problems and to include two additional topics in the curriculum: polynomials and linear graphs. Saxon is incremental and cumulative, introducing new concepts in small steps while reviewing previously learned material. Additional online study/help sessions are available as needed.
Textbook: Saxon Algebra 1/2, 3rd edition, Textbook and Solutions Manual.
