In Algebra 1, the student will be introduced to all of the prerequisite topics for Algebra 2 a/o Geometry 1. As the student moves through each topic, (s)he will be building a strong mathematical foundation, setting him/her up for success in his/her mathematical studies. Each week the student will review the previous topic, do a quick warm-up, be presented a new topic, and then, participate in the application of the topic. In order to build a reference library, one in which the student can use when working on homework, (s)he will be required to take notes. This will greater ensure success when the student is working independently. It is an interactive class, one in which the student will be able to freely ask and answer questions. Therefore, to this end, students will need to have a working camera and microphone. This class meets three times a week. Each session is 45 minutes in length. It is important to note that this is part one of a two-part course; it is broken into a semester format. *Students are welcome to take one or all three of the trimesters. The topics for each trimester are noted below. Trimester One: Variables Exponents: Basic Rules Order of Operations Evaluation Polynomials: Definitions & "like terms" Simplifying with Parentheses Polynomials: Adding and Subtracting Polynomials: Multiplying Simple Factoring ex: 2x + 6 = 2(x + 3) Exponents: Negative Simplifying with Exponents Scientific Notation Engineering Notation Polynomials: Dividing Semester Two: x,y-Plane (plotting points) Midpoint Formula Distance Formula Solving Linear Equations Solving Literal Equations Ratio and Proportion Cancelling (or Converting) Units Translation: How to translate word problems into math problems Word Problems: -Age -Geometric -Money Problems -Distance (d = rt) - Uniform Rate -Simple-Interest (I = Prt) -Investment -Mixture -Number (Integer) -Percent of Inequalities: Linear ex: 2x < 4 Graphing Linear Inequalities ex: y < 2x + 3 Graphing Absolute- Value Equations Solving Absolute- Value Equations Radicals (square roots, cube roots, etc) Exponents: Fractional Solving Radical Equations Graphing Radical Equations *Students who opt to take the second semester will have to take a proficiency test at the start of the semester. The test will indicate if there are topics that need to be reviewed. Evaluation Participation A: Comes ready to learn, has everything ready at class time (notebook, completed homework, pencil, paper, calculator, eraser, etc.), asks/answers questions, strives for comprehension B: Comes ready to learn, has almost everything ready at class time (notebook, nearly all of the completed homework, pencil, paper, calculator, eraser, etc.), asks/answers questions, strives for comprehension C: Comes ready to learn, usually has everything ready at class time (notebook, most of the completed homework, pencil, paper, calculator, eraser, etc.), asks/answers questions, strives for comprehension Notebook: A: Notes are legible, organized and can be used by someone else as a reference tool. B: Notes are legible, mostly organized, and can be used by someone else as a reference tool. C: Notes are mostly legible, somewhat organized and can be used, with a little difficulty, by someone else as a reference tool. Mastery A: Demonstrates great proficiency in each topic B: Demonstrates great proficiency in nearly every topic C: Demonstrates proficiency in most every topic Materials: Students will need a notebook, pencil, scratch paper, and a basic calculator to check the accuracy of their work. Parents are asked to sign off on student’s homework. This means: a signature indicates that the problem sets were worked, and the student used a calculator to check for accuracy. And, if needed, when the student did not fully comprehend a topic, the student wrote down questions to ask the teacher. Note: the parent is not required to teach, or reteach. The parent’s signature is strictly checking to ensure that the student did his/her work as directed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a teacher and have been teaching since 1998. I live in Colorado, where I earned a master’s degree from Colorado State University, and my principal licensure in educational leadership from the University of Denver. I taught mathematics, literature & writing (amongst other things) to High School students for over a dozen years, and had a life-changing experience when I moved to the mountains with my husband. Arriving at this location— the home of (primarily) brown bears and deer— I declared myself to be in business as a full-time educator. It soon became evident that few persons in the mountains overheard the declaration, but through the far-reaching wonders of Outschool, I am now able to combine the joys of peaceful mountainous solitude with my husband and my passion for teaching.
