The following course sequence is designed to provide the necessary mathematical knowledge and skills for students who plan military enlistment or direct entry to the workforce following graduation from Thornton Academy .
Pre-Algebra
1 Credit
Pre-Algebra is the building blocks of Algebra 1 . Students will practice the following foundational math skills : adding , subtracting , multiplication , division , and fractions ( using both positive and negative integers ). While learning foundations of math , students will be introduced to the concepts of variables , constants , solving one variable equations , and graphing those linear equations using slope-intercept .
Algebra 1A Foundations
1 Credit Prerequisite : Pre-Algebra
Algebra 1A Foundations is a non-college preparatory course in the principles of Algebra I . The course will include a review of basic algebra concepts learned in Pre-Algebra , such as variables and order of operations . Students will learn to solve linear equations , including multi-step equations ; equations with multiple variables and equations with decimals ; as well as write a linear equation based on a graph of the line . A study of exponents will introduce students to concepts beyond linear functions .
