This course serves either as a preparation for Algebra, or as a bridge between Algebra and Algebra II: Functions. Using both the computer and graphing calculators, students experiment with a wide variety of functions: linear, quadratic, trigonometric, and absolute value. They also establish links between graphs and corresponding flowcharts and data tables. In addition, the graphs, flowcharts, and tables provide a context for equation solving, which can be presented as a task of satisfying a set of given conditions. Numerical methods of solution are emphasized. To succeed in this course the student must maintain a well-organized notebook, which comprises the textbook for the course. In addition, the students should be prepared to write frequently to explain their ideas. (ELE students must be at the level of Writing II or higher.)
