Algebra 1 is the first in a series of higher-level math classes students need to succeed in college and life. Due to the increasing number of middle grade students taking Algebra 1 Honors the Mathematics Department would like to provide parents and students with a grasp of the fundamental math concepts that are needed to succeed in Algebra 1. To ensure that your student is adequately prepared for the cognitive demands and level of rigor of the Algebra 1 Honors course, the Math Department has developed an Algebra 1 Readiness packet . The purpose of this resource is to allow students the opportunity to dive a little deeper into the pre-requisite algebraic skills.

Algebra 1 Honors Important Facts
Algebra 1 Honors is a High School course. Algebra 1 is a required credit for graduation. Students must pass the Algebra I end-of- course (EOC) for graduation. The results of the Algebra 1 EOC constitute thirty percent of the final course grade.

6th Grade Student Algebra 1 Honors 7th Grade content students miss due to acceleration: Add and subtract numeric expressions that contain fractions Rewrite expressions in different ways Solve equations that require multiple steps with positive and negative whole numbers, fractions, and decimals Create an equation or inequality to solve a real world problem Find the distance between two numbers (whole numbers, fractions, or decimals) on the number line and know that its absolute value is their difference. Add, subtract, multiple, and divide positive and negative fractions in a real-world context problem Compute unit rates and describe them as a fraction and ration (i.e. 2:3) Recognize or describe when a relationship is proportional in a table, graph, equation, diagram, or verbal description Solve multi-step ratio and percent problems (i.e. simple interest, tax, markups, gratuities, commission, fees, percent increase, and percent decrease) Understand that statistic can be used to gain information to support inferences Compare data represented as a box plot and make inferences on the data Understand probability where 0 indicated unlikely and event will occur and 1 indicates certainty Approximate the likelihood that an event will occur by collecting data Develop a probability model (i.e. spinner) to generate data, explain possible sources of discrepancies, or determine the likelihood of an event Find the probability of an event that is dependent to another event using list, tables, tree diagrams
