GENERIC SYLLABUS FOR Math Essentials

PREREQUISITES:

I. COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course provides a basic introduction to algebra. Topics covered in this course include: real numbers and their properties, algebraic expressions and exponents, solving 1st degree equations in 1 variable, solving and graphing inequalities, graphing linear equations, using slope and y-intercept in graphing, polynomials and polynomial operations, solving quadratic equations, and solving two linear equations in 2 unknowns. Applications of algebra and the use of formulas will be covered. Please note that a minimum grade of “C” is required in this course in order for a student to take higher level math courses for which this course is a prerequisite.
