What are the obstacles to learning Algebra in high school?

Asked by algebraQuiry (1points) August 21st, 2009

In my state the legislature recently created a rule that all students must pass algebra 2 to graduate from high school. The high schools are full of students who struggle to pass algebra 1. I am working on a project to help explicate effective instructional practices for algebra 1 high school class in which students who are not necessarily confident in mathematics can thrive. I want to understand the obstacles to learning algebra in high school.
