ALGEBRA 1, PART 1
Price: $125 | Credits: One Semester | Dept: Math | Course ID# 221-1
This course is designed to be the first semester of Algebra 1. Part 1 covers all of the concepts crucial to success in subsequent classes, including the foundations of Algebra, equations, inequalities, linear and non-linear functions, as wells as systems of equations and inequalities. The content from this course is seen on standardized tests like the SAT and the ACT. Algebra 1 is approved by the University of California A-G as mathematics (category C).
Upon completion of this course, the student is awarded 5 credits. Each credit corresponds to 15 hours of study. Of course, some students work more quickly than others, and some can devote more hours to study, so some students are able to complete the course in an accelerated rate.
