Algebra 1: Legacy Edition

Graphing, Simultaneous Equations, Exponents, Polynomials, Unit Multipliers, and More

Algebra 1: Legacy Edition teaches all basic algebra concepts. These include basic properties, solving equations (including simultaneous equations), coin problems, exponents and square roots, scientific notation, unit multipliers, and metric conversions. Graphing lines is taught in detail, and graphing conic sections is introduced. Operations with polynomials are demonstrated with place-value blocks for conceptual understanding before being taught conventionally.

This program follows the traditional lesson structure used in other levels of Math-U-See. Students view one video per lesson and decide whether to take notes. It provides basic coverage of Algebra 1 topics, while our more in-depth course, Algebra 1: Principles of Secondary Mathematics, covers nationally expected topics for Algebra 1. For more information about the differences between the two programs, see below.
