Intermediate algebra is a course designed for students who have successfully completed high school algebra but who placed into pre-college level mathematics at Garrett College. This course is for refreshing math skills with a review of pre-college level algebra. After successfully completing this course, the student should be prepared to go on to College Algebra.

This course will introduce basic algebra skills to students with limited background in algebra. Topics covered will include order of operations, computations with real numbers and linear equations and problem solving. The course will introduce operations with: integers, exponents, fractions, decimals, and percents. More advance algebra concepts will include model building and analysis of graphical and numerical data with an emphasis on making connections between concepts learned in the classroom and real-world applications. An emphasis will be placed on using proportions to solve real world problems.
