Algebra III, a one-credit course, covers those skills and objectives necessary for success in courses higher than Algebra II.
Topics of study include sequences and series, functions, and higher order polynomials.
Polynomial functions provide the context for higher-order investigations.
Topics are addressed from a numeric, graphical, and analytical perspective.
Technology is used to enhance presentation and understanding of concepts.
The instructional approach provides opportunities for students to work together collaboratively and cooperatively as they solve routine and non-routine problems.
Communication strategies should include reading, writing, speaking, and critical listening as students present and evaluate mathematical arguments, proofs, and explanations about their reasoning.
