Algebra I is a foundational math course typically taught in middle or high school. It introduces students to variables, expressions, equations, and functions. Students learn to solve linear equations and inequalities, work with polynomials, and understand the concept of graphing on a coordinate plane. In Algebra I, students also explore real-world applications of algebraic concepts. They learn to model situations using equations and interpret the results. This course sets the stage for more advanced math courses, such as Algebra II and Geometry, and helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for various fields.
