Algebraic Thinking is an entry-level math class designed for students returning to math after time away or for those who wish to strengthen their understanding of math before taking precalculus or entering college coursework such as science or economics. Algebraic Thinking helps students develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills by using algebra and mathematics to solve context-based problems. Problems are approached algebraically, graphically, numerically, and verbally. Students will engage in a thorough exploration of functions and function notation as well as linear, quadratic and exponential functions, and right-triangle trigonometry. Collaborative learning will be a fundamental component of the course. A graphing calculator is required for the course.
