Therefore, you must complete assignments on time and study for tests to be successful in this course.

Algebra 1 Honors Curriculum Paper:
The fundamental purpose of this course, Algebra 1 Honors, is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in MJ1 and/or MJ2. The critical areas, called units, deepen and extend understanding of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with each other and by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend, and students engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions. The Standards for Mathematical Practice apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. 
Unit 1- Relationships between Quantities and Reasoning with Equations
Unit 2- Linear and Exponential Relationships
Unit 3- Descriptive Statistics
Unit 4- Expressions and Equations
Unit 5- Quadratic Functions and Modeling
Detailed information about each Unit:
