Algebra 1 Semester 1 With Certified Math Teacher (Quizzes/Tests Provided/Graded)

In this semester class, I will walk students through the skills needed to understand and confidently answer problems in Algebra 1. I will demonstrate the steps needed to solve the problem and have the students watch. Then the students will work through several problems with me and be encouraged to talk me through solving the problems. After this, students will be able to do our last few problems of the class on their own using the steps we've practiced. 

As students get stuck or held up on a problem, we will use it as a time to encourage them and help them figure out the next step to solve. 

Worksheets will be provided for students to work on following classes. Students will submit work by a deadline and then receive a quiz/test to check understanding during the units. Work will be graded.
