Integrated Algebra B

 

Algebra A is the first part of a two-credit algebra course. Algebra B is the second part of a two- credit algebra course. Students who successfully complete Algebra A and Algebra B will meet the Algebra I requirement for graduation Students should be able to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. The process of collecting and analyzing data should be embedded throughout this course. Appropriate technology and manipulatives should be used regularly for instruction and assessment. Students should be able to judge the meaning, utility, and reasonableness of the results of symbol manipulations, including those carried out by technology. It is strongly recommended to regularly assess Algebra A skills to help drive the instruction of Algebra B. All SLEs taught in Algebra A should be revisited in Algebra B as necessary.
