CAP 017 - CAP Integrated Algebra and Geometry

Credits: 5
Students will be introduced to basic algebraic and geometric concepts through a contextualized, integrated curriculum. Students will review basic concepts of number sense, ratios, proportions, and percents and apply these skills to algebraic and geometric word problems. Students will also become familiar with polygons, circles, lines, and angles and their relationship with algebra by solving multi-step real life word problems. Students will increase their basic knowledge of algebra by understanding and applying signed numbers to real world concepts, solving multi-step equations, solving and graphing inequalities, linear equations, and an introduction to nonlinear equations, with an emphasis on quadratics. Students completing this course with a 70% or better will meet the requirements for High School 21+ to earn one (1) credit of high school math equivalency. Prerequisite: All students who are under 18 years of age must have a signed release form from their school district.
