carryover from 2nd grading period:

solve linear inequalities

Algebra 1 Honors            3rd grading period skills

• simplify exponential expressions using the properties of exponents

• use properties of exponents to evaluate powers and simplify exponential expressions

• use the division properties of exponents to find probabilities

• evaluate powers that have zero and negative exponents

• add and subtract polynomials

• multiply polynomials and identify special products

• factor a polynomial expression

• divide polynomials by monomials

• use scientific notation to represent large and small numbers or to describe real-life situations

these skills will be in both the 3rd and 4th grading periods:

• solve a quadratic equation by finding square roots

• use properties of radicals to simplify radicals

• use the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse

• evaluate and approximate square roots

• find the distance and midpoint between two points

• use completing the square to write in vertex form and graph quadratic functions

• sketch the graph of a quadratic function

• solve a quadratic equation graphically

• solve a quadratic equation by using the quadratic formula

• use the discriminant to find the number of solutions to a quadratic equation

• sketch the graph of a quadratic inequality

• choose a model that best fits a collection of data
