Students who earn a “C” or below in Math 8/pre-Algebra will be placed either into Algebra I, Algebra I with support, or three semester Algebra I (if offered). The decision will be based on multiple measures which include but are not limited to grades, teacher recommendation, and mathematical assessments.
Students who earn a “C” or below in 8th grade Algebra will be placed into Algebra I in the 9th grade. If the student wishes to advance to Geometry the student can submit a waiver request for site review.
UC/CSU-Subject C
This course introduces the student to the concept of variables and emphasizes problem-solving skills. Topics include solving linear equations, solving and graphing inequalities, graphing on a coordinate plane, solving systems of equations, factoring, operating with polynomials, rational expressions, radicals and solving quadratic equations. Selected topics from trigonometry, probability, & statistics are also introduced. Applications are emphasized throughout the course.
COURSE: 3 Semester Algebra – Algebra I A, B, C YEAR COURSE: 10 credits COURSE CODE: MCP2 - Alg. 1 A&B GRADES: 9, 10, 11, 12

PREREQUISITE: A grade of “C” or better in Algebra I if taken at the high school, or a “B” or better if taken in middle school. UC/CSU-Subject C
This course introduces the student to geometrical relationships and the concepts of formal deductive proof. Strong emphasis is placed on both algebraic manipulation and numerical calculation. Topics include congruency and similarity of triangles, parallel and perpendicular lines, area and volume formulas, properties of polygons and circles, coordinate geometry, and construction techniques.
