Curriculum guidance for Little Rock Christian Academy High School details how students engage with mathematics as a discipline of design, balance, symmetry, patterns, and probability. The guide emphasizes applying mathematical language to everyday problem solving, using symbols, diagrams, and graphs, and analyzing and justifying ideas through accurate logic and collaborative learning. It outlines class practices, supplementary skill development, and assessment approaches, then structures learning across Algebra I and Honors Algebra I units spanning patterns, linear relationships, equations, inequalities, systems, functions, and non-linear models.

It allows us to model the physical world, to quantify, calculate, measure, divide, multiply, separate, sort, and combine. We believe a deeper understanding of math allows us to more fully appreciate many other parts of creation such as nature, music, art, language, and science. We see mathematical concepts embedded in the Scriptures describing both God’s work and the work he has called us to as his image bearers. Understanding and using mathematical language and concepts is a uniquely human quality rooted in the character and person of God the creator and his desire to bring order out of chaos, a desire we echo here on earth. LRCA students understand the orderliness and precision of creation and practice employing logic and mathematical reasoning with accuracy and depth. They are confident calculators, creative problem-solvers, and clear communicators in mathematical languages. “Greatis our Lord and mightyin power, His understanding has no limit.” Psalm 147:5 HIGH SCHOOL | CURRICULUM GUIDE 5 Learning Goals ALGEBRA I & 8TH HONORS ALGEBRA I • Apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life. • Communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, and graphs. • Analyze and justify mathematical ideas.
