Algebra Readiness B
Course Description
In Algebra Readiness, students explore real and irrational numbers, bridging rational and real number systems. They delve into rigid transformations, congruence, dilations, and similarity. Progressing from proportional to linear relationships, they master expressing and connecting linear relationships through equations, tables, and graphs. Handling linear equations in one and two variables deepens, along with understanding solutions to systems of equations. Linear relationships as functions are introduced, applied to variable data contexts. Exponents expand to integers, accompanied by scientific notation, and the Pythagorean Theorem. All units align with Idaho State Standards and recommended course structure.
Functions and Volume
What do I need to learn about? I will determine if graphs, tables, or rules represent functions, create and interpret graphs for stories, and calculate and compare the volumes and dimensions of cylinders, cones, and spheres.
Grow from: I'll gather everything I've learned about Functions and Volume. I will include evidence of my learning activities. For my project, I will complete the project in Schoology or submit one that has been pre-approved by my teacher. After receiving feedback, I'll revise and refine my project until I achieve mastery.
Associations in Data
What do I need to learn about? I will examine and analyze numerical and categorical data using scatter plots, fitted lines, two-way tables, frequency tables, and segmented bar graphs to identify associations.

For my project, I will complete the project in Schoology or submit one that has been pre-approved by my teacher. After receiving feedback, I'll revise and refine my project until I achieve mastery.
Exponents and Scientific Notation
What do I need to learn about? I will identify and create equivalent expressions with various exponents and use scientific notation for large or small quantities.

The Pythagorean Theorem and Irrational Numbers
What do I need to learn about? I will understand and approximate square and cube roots, use the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles, and determine fractions and decimal approximations for rational and irrational numbers.
