GRADES OR AGES: Grade 9 and 10 (first and second courses). SUBJECT MATTER: Algebra. ORGANIZATION AND PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: The material for each grade is presented in four columns: major areas, significant anticipated outcomes, observations and suggestion, and references and films. The topics covered in the first course include reviews of set concepts and numbers, variables, expressions and open sentences, axioms and their use with equations, directed numbers, polynomials, algebraic fractions, systems of linear equalities and inequalities, real numbers, relations, functions and variations, quadratic equations and inequalities, and introductory geometry and trigonometry. The second course includes set concepts and structure of the real number system, polynomials and rational expression, relations and functions, quadratic equations and relations, exponential and logarithmic functions, progressions and binomial expansions, polynomials functions, matrices and determinants, and permutations, combinations and probability. The guide is mimeographed and spiral bound with a soft cover. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES: Objectives are listed for each topic. INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS: Textbooks and audio-visual materials are listed for each topic, with a fuller listing at the end of each course. STUDENT ASSESSMENT: No provision is made. (MBM)
