Subject Discipline And Course Number:

Course Title:    Algebra Part 1

Instructor: Emmanuel Littrel

Units: 5.0

Hours: 38

Course Description:

             The major purpose in the study of algebra is to generalize the concepts learned in
             arithmetic.  This generalization is necessary if the students are to learn how to  
             organize their thoughts to solve problems that they are certain to encounter in
             everyday life and how to prepare for continued studies in mathematics and   
              science.  http://cde.ca.gov/

            Representative Objectives

            The student gives evidence of having achieved the objectives of the course when he or she
             has ability low.

            MASTERY - upon completion of this course, the student will demonstrate comprehension
            through consistent performance (scoring 75 percent or better) on tests or in applications of
            these skills/concepts:

            -  Arithmetic operations and absolute value of positive and negative rational numbers
            -  Arithmetic operations with literal symbols
            -  Linear equations and their graphs
            -  Inequalities
            -  Ratio, proportion, and variation
            -  Operations with integer exponents
            -  Operations with polynomials and rational expressions
            -  Systems of linear equations with two unknowns; solutions and applications
            -  Special products and factoring
            -  Solution of quadratic equations by factoring, formula and completing  a square
            -  Square roots and operations with radicals
            -  Solution of elementary problems
            -  Application of formulas for perimeters, areas and volumes of simple geometric figures

            BASIC UNDERSTANDING - The student will demonstrate a basic understanding
             or competence in these skills/concepts:

            -  Classification of angles and triangles.
            -  Recognition and use of similar triangles to find lengths of sides.
            -  Definition and computation of sine, cosine, and tangent ratios for an acute angle of a 
                right triangle.
            -  The reading of a table of trigonometric ratios.
            -  The use of trigonometric ratios to solve right triangles.
            -  applications of elementary trigonometric concepts.

            Application of basic Skills

            The student will be able to:

            - Learn the technical vocabulary.
            - Read symbols, abbreviations, and formulas.
            - Convert words and phrases to symbols, ad vice versa.
            - Understand and interpret graphs
            - Adjust the rate of reading to the purpose and difficulty of the  material.
            - Read for main ideas.
            - Note and weigh details.
            - See relationships.
            - Draw inferences from content.
            - Organize the factual content.
            - Discriminate between the relevant and the irrelevant
            - Follow Directions
