Algebra 1 CP1 teaches the use of
algebra’s essential tools: how to work with the properties of real numbers,
including exponents and radicals; how to express real-world phenomena in the
language of algebra; how to formulate, solve and graph linear equations and
inequalities; how to factor, graph, and solve quadratic equations; and how to
use the capabilities of personal computers, including spreadsheets and online
math resources. Instructors emphasize mental calculation skills to minimize the
use of hand-held calculators.
