==Who should take this class==
 
Students are ready for this class if they have mastered square roots and fractional exponents, order of operations, linear equations and inequalities, ratio, and proportion. We recommend that students have experience with factoring quadratics prior to taking this course.
 
 
 
Please note: Our Algebra sequence will not likely match up exactly with your school's. We have named our courses so as to help new students decide which class to take. Most students who have completed a Prealgebra class are ready for this course. Those who have completed a typical Algebra 1 class should consider taking our Algebra 2 course. Those who have completed a typical Algebra 2 class should consider taking our Algebra 3 course.
