Algebra 1

Algebra 1 introduces students to the fundamental concepts of algebra, including variables, equations, and functions.

Practical Applications

Algebra in Sports and Games

Scoring, Stats, and Strategies

Sports and games use algebra all the time! From keeping score to planning plays, algebra helps you think ahead.

Examples in Action

  • Calculating scores or averages.
  • Figuring out how many points you need to win.

Why It Matters

Whether you’re playing basketball, video games, or even board games, algebra gives you the tools to plan smart moves and understand the numbers behind the game.

Examples

  • If you need 15 points to win and already have 9, solve \( 9 + x = 15 \) to find you need 6 more points.

  • Tracking your batting average in baseball uses the formula: \( Average = \frac{Hits}{At Bats} \).
