Intermediate Algebra

Intermediate Algebra is a one-year college preparatory course that is designed to enable students to learn to use mathematics as a tool in active learning situations that provide opportunities for exploration, investigations, and reasoning. Some of the topics covered are linear equations & inequalities, graphing, functions, quadratic equations, logarithmic equations, exponential equations, geometry, number patterns, and data analysis.  The goals and objectives of the course are to develop a love of math or at least increase enjoyment, develop a higher level of confidence and competence in problem solving, solidify understanding of basic algebra concepts, develop understanding of more sophisticated algebraic concepts, extend and increase knowledge of geometry, develop understanding of basic statistics, learn to work collaboratively, demonstrate understanding of mathematical concepts through written & verbal communications, and learn appropriate use of calculator and other technology in mathematical problem solving.
