Algebra 1 Club!
This accelerator is based on the essentials of Algebra 1. This is an intensive Algebra 1 ongoing course designed to supplement instruction. Note: because there is no end date, you can join in on any given week and/or skip any week.
What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. Students will not have home learning, but rather will receive Mathematics HL help during math club. If parents desire home learning activities, follow up assignments may be given by the teacher.Assessment
Student learning is measured through formative assessments through an interactive educational technology called "Kahoot!"Class Experience
US Grade 7 - 9
The ongoing course dates will take place once a week. The topics are not connected to each other, so students may come in and join at any time during the year, or skip a week. This is a review of common standardized math topics, as well as remediation, extra practice, and home learning help. This is not a live class. Students may come in with any math question and receive assistance on whatever math topic he/she needs. Below are tentative topics to cover in remediation of general curriculum pacing guides. They are as follows: Week of August 6: Solving Math Word Problems Week of August 13: Percent Notation Week of September 3: Ratios, Percent, and Proportions Week of September 10: Real Numbers Week of September 17: Exponents and Exponential Expressions Week of September 24: Properties of Exponents Week of October 1: Radical Expressions Week of October 8: Algebraic Expressions and Equations Week of October 15: Algebraic Distribution Week of October 22: Properties of Functions Week of October 29: Working with Inequalities Week of November 5: Linear Equations Week of November 12: Factoring Week of November 19: Quadratic Equations Week of November 26: Graphing and Factoring Quadratic Equations Week of December 3: Properties of Polynomial Functions Week of December 10: Rational Expressions Week of December 17: Matrices and Absolute Value Week of December 28: Data, Statistics, and Probability Week of January 5: Solving Math Word Problems Week of January 14: Ratios, Percent, and Proportions Week of January 21: Real Numbers Week of January 28: Exponents and Exponential Expressions Week of February 4: Properties of Exponents Week of February 11: Radical Expressions Week of February 18: Algebraic Expressions and Equations Week of February 25: Algebraic Distribution Week of March 4 : Properties of Functions Week of March 11: Working with Inequalities Week of March 18: Linear Equations Week of March 25: Factoring Week of April 1: Quadratic Equations Week of April 8: Graphing and Factoring Quadratic Equations Week of April 15: Properties of Polynomial Functions Week of April 22: Rational Expressions Week of April 29: Matrices and Absolute Value Week of May 6: Data, Statistics, and Probability Week of May 13: Solving Math Word Problems Week of May 20: Ratios, Percent, and Proportions Week of May 27: Real Numbers Week of June 3: Exponents and Exponential Expressions Week of June 10: Properties of Exponents Week of June 17: Algebraic Expressions and Equations Week of June 24: Properties of Functions Week of June 30: Factoring Week of July 8: Quadratic Equations Week of July 15: Rational Expressions Week of July 22: Data Week of July 28: Statistics Week of August 5:Probability Week of August 12: Solving Math Word Problems
Learning Goals
Students will actively participate in effortful learning both individually and collectively.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of mathematics by representing problems in multiple ways.
Students will complete tasks with mathematical fluency.
Students will engage in discussions that reflect on the mathematical thinking of self and others.
Students will use patterns and structure to help them understand and connect mathematical concepts.
Students will assess the reasonableness of solutions.
Students will apply mathematics to real-world solutions.
Due to the ongoing nature of the schedule, the sessions are not designed to be a course, but a weekly review of essential math concepts designed to remediate student learning.
There is also a time for home learning help or guided practice where students can work on Mathematics activities with teacher guidance.
Club Sessions are broken up into three segments:
1-Students will enter the classroom and be given a brief warm-up activity containing math drills that build mathematical fluency and confidence. This lasts about 5-10 minutes depending on the learner.
2-Then, students will participate in a brief whole group instruction to review the math concept for the day. This supplements their traditional math class or course curriculum. This takes about 15-20 minutes.
3-The last half of the class is devoted to guided practice and independent activities so that students can receive homework help or practice what they have just reviewed. This takes about 20-25 minutes

Parental Guidance
In addition, Google slides, Google Forms, Youtube, IXL, Khan Academy, and Kahoot will all be used for in-classroom learning, content review, and participation during the class sessions. These educational technologies are not going to be assigned outside of class.
Supply List
A computer, tablet or mobile device is required to access Khan Academy and/or IXL to make a free account. The links or code will be provided by me. Also, I highly recommend students bring index cards, a sheet divider, a blank sheet of paper and a dry-erase marker.
External Resources
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:

Disclaimer: IXL, Khan Academy, and Kahoot will be used as educational technologies to reinforce math concepts and guided practice.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Special Education
I have taught middle school mathematics in the public school system for about 5 years. I am licensed/certified to teach in the state of Florida. I have taught 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade mathematics to special education students on a general education curriculum and following the standard pacing guide and mathematics to middle school students with severe cognitive disabilities in a self-contained classroom and other special education settings.
