What constitutes Algebra?


Recommended Posts

I am wrapping up our algebra year and feeling a bit worried about the fact that there are topics that are considered Algebra 1 in some places but not in others.  I realize this is a problem that most of us already know about but I'm just wondering if there is anyone else out there who has tried to find a definitive scope and sequence for what constitutes algebra 1 and has found little consensus.

 

At the moment I'm planning to do math through the summer anyway as ds really cannot go for so long without seeing a topic.  I'm just hoping to hit on the right combination of review and coverage of new topics that Foerster's misses.  

 

So far I think we need to spend some time on:

 

-complex numbers

-graphing circles 

-parabola problems

 

I thought I'd probably use Khan Academy as it's thorough (IMO) and can be done pretty independently.
