Description: |
University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP) Algebra, designed to increase students' skills in algebra, is appropriate for students in grades 7–10, depending on the students' incoming knowledge. This one-year course highlights applications, uses statistics and geometry to develop the algebra of linear equations and inequalities, and includes probability concepts in conjunction with algebraic fractions. The curriculum emphasizes graphing, while manipulation with rational algebraic expressions is delayed until later courses. This curriculum uses the UCSMP textbook. |
