Alan Erisman, author of the book The Math Myth: “If we taught English the way we teach math, students would spend all their time doing spelling tests and diagraming sentences but never read a great book or ever read poetry.”
We will use the properties taught in algebra to calculate scientific parameters and make poetry out of algebra in order to understand our world. This course will cover the fundamental of algebra in order to describe the physical world. Often algebra seems to have little to do with reality. This course with destroy that myth. We will use spread sheets to perform some of our calculations and graph the results. Spread sheet operations and calculations will be presented.
If your student is interested in science this will be a great class.
This is a year-long class.
We will use the book: Maran Illustrated Effortless Algebra. It is available on eBay or Amazon.
Prerequisite: Pre- algebra. This will be an algebra course. We will very quickly review pre-algebra, but the review will be brief.
This fall we will study:
Algebra Basics - Review
Working with fractions and exponents - Review
Solving basic equations
Graphing linear equations
Solving and graphing inequalities
Working with matrices
Solving systems of equations
