Algebra is the “gateway course” to upper-level mathematics. It is important that students are well prepared in primary and middle grades in order to set them up for success in Algebra and further upper-level math courses. In conjunction with the IPLA Vision, continuous improvement is always the goal. Schools have come a long way in terms of preparing students for Algebra.
