Course Syllabus
Course Description:
Algebra 1B is the second course in the Algebra sequence, which serves to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in previous math courses. Students will extend their understanding of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with each other and by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Students will also learn how to compare quantitative data sets using different measures of center and spread. Earning credit in Algebra I-B is a graduation requirement.
