The goal of Differentiated Algebra I is to offer traditional algebra content as a foundation for advanced math courses. It will provide students with a more rigorous transition from the concrete elementary mathematics to the abstract thinking of algebra and will engage students in problem-solving strategies at a deeper level. Differentiated Algebra I will enable students to become proficient in rational and polynomial expressions, operations with radicals, solving and graphing linear and quadratic equations, order of operations, word problems, and how to solve systems of equations. Daily homework should be expected.
