Intermediate Algebra is designed to strengthen the students’ conceptual and procedural algebraic skills by creating a bridge for skills from Algebra I and Geometry to future mathematical endeavours in a progression that will increase students’ readiness for college, careers, and life. This course has been developed by the Oklahoma State Department of Education to deepen student understanding by intentionally creating meaningful connections between various mathematical representations (i.e. symbolic, visual, and physical). Intermediate Algebra will focus on strengthening and expanding the elements from Algebra 1 such as the number system, linear inequalities and linear functions and will serve as the foundation to branch into the study of polynomials, quadratic functions and statistics. This course will strengthen students’ problem-solving abilities through the use of projects and collaborative learning.
