Students enrolled in Pre-Algebra semesters 1 & 2, use the book Pre-Algebra by Siegried Haenisch, ©2004 AGS Publishing. The first semester consists of the first six chapters of the books and covers algebra and whole numbers, decimal places, number theory, rational numbers and fractions, basic operations and rational expressions, and rations, proportions, and percent. The second semester includes six chapters focusing on integers, exponents, square roots, the Pythagorean Theorem, equations from geometry, graphing, geometry, data, statistics, and probability.

The content of Algebra I S-1 & S-2 in the online format is based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards. This course is aligned with Common Core State Standards, which can be seen at Apex Learning. Students will work toward mastery of computational skills in an algebraic setting. Topics include an introductory algebra (pre-algebra) review, measurement, an introduction to functions, problem solving with functions, polynomials and factoring, and data analysis and probability. (Audio is available; Disponible en español.)

The content of the Algebra I S-1 & S-2 in the correspondence format uses the "Basic Algebra," textbook by Brown, Smith and Dolciani. In the first semester of Algebra I, students learn about working with variables, solving equations, positive and negative numbers, formulas, working with polynomials and factoring. In the second semester of Algebra I, students learn about graphing, equations with two variables, working with fractions, decimals and percentages, squares and square roots, and quadratic equations. In both semesters, students study the material, do the odd numbered problems and take six chapter tests.
