Book Details

Core Connections Algebra is the first course in a five year sequence of college preparatory mathematics courses that starts with Algebra I and continues through Calculus. Core Connections Algebra aims to deepen and extend student understanding built in previous courses by focusing on developing fluency with solving linear equations and inequalities and systems; extending these skills to solving quadratic and exponential functions; exploring functions, including sequences, graphically, numerically, symbolically and verbally and using regression techniques to analyze the fit of models to distributions of data. On a daily basis, students in Core Connections Algebra use problem solving strategies, questioning, investigating, analyzing critically, gathering and constructing evidence, and communicating rigorous arguments justifying their thinking. Students learn in collaboration with others, sharing information, expertise, and ideas.
