Algebraic Thinking for Science is an entry-level math class designed for students who are returning to math after a time away and for those who wish to strengthen their understanding of math before taking precalculus or entering programs in the sciences such as Integrated Natural Science. Class is fully in-person with on-line support materials. Algebraic Thinking develops problem-solving and critical-thinking skills by using algebra and mathematics to solve context-based problems. Problems are approached algebraically, graphically, numerically, and verbally. Students will engage in content related to the numbers of science, dimensional analysis, and a thorough exploration of functions and function notation as well as linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions.
Collaborative learning will be a fundamental component of the course. A graphing calculator is required for the course.
