Algebra I Part I is the first year course of a two-year algebra sequence covering the same topics as Algebra I. In this
two year sequence, students have additional time to develop the algebraic skills needed to succeed in higher
mathematics. The course focuses on the development of problem-solving skills and the acquisition of
mathematical vocabulary and symbols. The active engagement of students along with the use of manipulatives and
technology, particularly DESMOS- an online graphing program that will be required for SOL testing, will allow
students to develop an understanding of the mathematical principles they are learning. Students will take the
Algebra I Standards of Learning test at the end of the second year.

This course is intended for seniors who have passed DE or Pre-AP Pre-Calculus but are not ready for AP Calculus BC. This is a college level course with college credit available through the Advanced Placement Test or Dual Enrollment credit, so the expectations of effort and performance are very high. The course is divided into two main topics: differential and integral calculus. Concepts include limits, continuity, rates of change, area under a curve, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Emphasis is placed on developing problem solving skills to apply calculus in real-world situations and communicating mathematical solutions verbally and in writing. Technology will be used to experiment, interpret results, and verify conclusions. Completion of a summer assignment prior to the first day of class is expected.

Topics studied in this course are based upon the Calculus BC curriculum as prescribed by the College Board. This is a college level course with college credit available through the Advanced Placement Test or Dual Enrollment credit, so the expectations of effort and performance are very high. The course is intended for students who have a thorough knowledge of analytical geometry and extensive understanding of functions (including trigonometric functions) as presented in Algebra I & II, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus. The course is divided into two main topics: differential calculus and integral calculus. Within this framework, students investigate the central concepts of calculus, including limits, continuity, rates of change, and area under a curve. Major emphasis is placed on the development of problem solving skills based on these concepts, and applications of calculus in real-world situations will be stressed. Students planning to take this course should take Pre-Calculus Pre-AP during their junior year (see description above.) Students planning on taking AP Physics C Mechanics must also enroll in AP Calculus BC. Completion of a summer assignment prior to the first day of class is expected.
