Reading: Why do we study Algebra?
Mr. Pullutasig
Algebra is a branch of mathematics in which symbols and letters of the alphabet stand for
numbers. It has been around for thousands of years. The ancient Babylonians used Algebra to
solve complex equations and calculations.
Electricians, engineers, and nearly everyone in between use algebra. Its one of the most common
and malleable types of mathematics, and its also one of the most important. From Everyday life
decision-making, to advance training in science and technology, the ability to understand and apply
Algebra is a stepping-stone to a successful journey in life with great opportunities and discoveries.
You have been using Algebra in your elementary and middle school math classes for
years!

alternate assessment at a later date.
Absence does not excuse you from taking a test or quiz. If you are in class you must take the
assessment.
