Financial algebra is a college and career preparatory course that integrates algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics to solve financial problems that occur in everyday life. An emphasis is placed on the integration of concepts from Algebra 1 and Geometry, as well as introductory concepts from Algebra 2. Real-world problems in investing, banking, consumer credit, employment, income tax, automobile ownership, and independent living are solved through applying the relevant mathematics. This course will prepare students for Algebra 2 as well as either the Accuplacer, SAT or ACT assessments. Students must pass Geometry to enroll in Financial Algebra.
