• arithmetic and evaluation of expressions involving signed numbers, exponents, and roots
• properties of real numbers
• absolute value
• equations and inequalities involving absolute value
• scientific notation
• unit conversions
• solution of equations in one unknown
• solution of simultaneous equations
• the algebra of polynomials and rational expressions
• word problems requiring algebra for the solution (such as uniform motion and coin problems)
• graphical solution of simultaneous equations
• graphs of a variety of functions: linear, quadratic, cubic, square root, absolute value, etc.
• translations and reflections of graphs
• factoring
• Pythagorean theorem
• algebraic proofs
• functional notation and functions
• solution of quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square, and quadratic formula
• direct and inverse variation
• exponential growth
• computation of the perimeter and area of two-dimensional regions
• computation of the surface area and volume of a wide variety of geometric solids
• statistics
• probability
