NOTE: Students need a TI-84 Plus calculator.

This course builds on algebra skills from seventh grade and introduces geometry concepts that influence art, science, and your everyday life. The mix of work prepares you for higher-level math and science. We start the class with a study of complex fractions and rational expressions, solving quadratic, absolute value, rational, and radical equations and inequalities, and laws of exponents. Moving into geometry in the second half of the course, we cover congruency, parallel and perpendicular lines, and rigorous geometric proofs.
