Algebra 1 - Full Year of Math; With Professor Alfred: Ongoing Course
What's included
1 live meeting
25 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1-2 hours per week. Homework is not mandatory although students need to practice solving math problems. Practice is a must because Math is a skill subject. Practice sheets are available upon request. Answers key is given during the class for homework checking. I help also with homework provided they are given a day before the meeting. There will be consultation outside of the class free of charge.Assessment

Join our Algebra 1 online small group class and explore the fascinating world of algebraic concepts and equations. You can start anytime, with new sections beginning for the new school year. Our experienced teacher will make it easy to understand, and you can engage in interactive sessions with peers. Whether you're a beginner or want to improve your algebraic skills, this class is for you. Get ready to embark on your algebraic journey whenever you're ready. Here is a list of the topics covered Introduction to Algebra Understanding variables and constants Expressions and equations Evaluating expressions Combining like terms Solving Linear Equations Solving one-step equations Solving two-step equations Solving equations with variables on both sides Solving equations with fractions and decimals Linear Inequalities Solving one-step inequalities Solving two-step inequalities Graphing linear inequalities on a number line Relations and Functions Identifying functions Function notation Evaluating functions Function tables and graphs Linear Functions Writing linear equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) Finding the slope and y-intercept of a line Graphing linear equations Systems of Linear Equations Solving systems of equations by graphing Solving systems of equations by substitution Solving systems of equations by elimination Exponents and Exponential Functions Understanding exponent rules Multiplying and dividing with exponents Simplifying expressions with exponents Introduction to exponential growth and decay Polynomials Adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials Special products of polynomials (e.g., FOIL method) Factoring polynomials (including GCF) Solving quadratic equations by factoring Rational Expressions Simplifying rational expressions Multiplying and dividing rational expressions Solving rational equations Radicals and Radical Expressions Understanding square roots and cube roots Simplifying radical expressions Operations with radicals Solving radical equations Quadratic Equations Solving quadratic equations by the quadratic formula Graphing quadratic functions Completing the square Absolute Value and Piecewise Functions Understanding absolute value equations and inequalities Graphing absolute value functions Introduction to piecewise functions Inequalities and Compound Inequalities Solving compound inequalities Graphing compound inequalities on a number line Introduction to Coordinate Geometry Graphing equations on the coordinate plane Distance and midpoint formula Data Analysis and Probability (Basic) Interpreting and creating basic statistical graphs (e.g., bar graphs, line graphs) Probability and basic counting principles Remember, Algebra 1 provides the foundation for more advanced math concepts, so mastering these topics is crucial.
Learning Goals
