Unit 1 lays the building blocks for the challenges to come. While students enter the class with introductory skills in each of these topics/chapters (at left), they will be further challenged to understand how the various algebraic properties are applied to solve problems. Methods to translate real-life problems (aka the "dreaded" word problems) into mathematical models will also be introduced.
