COURSE OVERVIEW:

This course is designed for ELL students. It gives equal attention to both content subject and the acquisition of English proficiency in speaking, reading and writing. In this course students will learn and be able to:

            Use English to express their ideas in social and academic interactions.

            Display, interpret and analyze data through matrices, graphs, histograms and charts.

            Use variation equations and their graphs to solve real-world problems.

            Solve equations and inequalities using different methods.

Write a linear equation given a recursion routine, graph or data.

Model real-world problems with linear equations, inequalities and systems of two inequalities.

Solve systems of linear equations using substitution, elimination and matrix.

Through this course students will gain experience making conjectures about data set then testing them with appropriate statistical and graphical methods. Also, they will develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills as well as improve ability to work with others on a mathematical problem.            .

This course will cover 5 chapters of the Discovering Algebra book:

1.   Data Exploration
