Algebra 1:

Principles of Secondary Mathematics

Algebra 1: Principles of Secondary Mathematics challenges students by building an in-depth knowledge of core algebraic topics. This rigorous course allows students to work more independently and provides resources so students can get themselves “unstuck” when they need help.

This program features a recently developed lesson structure that is different from the traditional Math-U-See lesson structure featured in Algebra 1: Legacy Edition. In Principles of Secondary Mathematics, students watch multiple videos per lesson, complete guided notes, and master nationally expected topics that are aligned with state standards.
