What's included
Homework
1-2 hours per week. Homework will be completed by each student individually. It will be a worksheet of problems similar to those covered in the lesson. The homework will take 30-60 minutes per lesson, so 1-2 hours per week total. Each student must post the work-out solution to one problem in the classroom for each homework set. The student may choose any problem not already posted by another student. The solutions to the previous lesson will be provided so that students can check their work. I also hold office hours, if the student needs assistance with the homework.Assessment
At the end of units 4 and the middle of Unit 5, a quiz will be posted. At the conclusion of Unit 5, a test covering all of the course material will be provided. The quizzes and test must be submitted no later than a week after they were posted. If you need additional flexibility in the due dates, please let me know. However, all work must be submitted prior to the last day of class. Feedback and full solutions to the assessments with be provided to each student, along with a percentage grade. Please show your work to receive partial credit, even if the answer is incorrect. Being able to see your thinking process also helps me give you better feedback.Grading

This class is perfect for a student beginning the study of algebra, as well as for a student who needs to review the first semester of algebra. To be successful in this class, students must be proficient in working with positive and negative integers, decimals, and fractions, as well as solving algebraic equations. It is recommended, but not required, that the student takes Algebra Skills -Distributing, Solving Equations, Proportions prior to this class. This is a flexible class with no mandatory live class meetings, allowing students to work at a time that is convenient to them. Lesson materials will be posted twice a week, becoming available on the day listed below. Assignments (homework, quizzes, and test) must be submitted by the due date. If you want to receive an overall course grade, all assignments must be completed. This class will cover the following topics: Solving Inequalities -Graphing single-variable inequalities and solving one-step inequalities (Week 1 Monday) -Solving multi-step inequalities (Week 1 Wednesday) -Solving compound inequalities (Week 2 Monday) -Solving absolute value inequalities (Week 2 Wednesday) Graphs of Linear Equations and Inequalities -Slope (Week 3 Monday) -Graphing linear equations using tables (Week 3 Wednesday) -Graphing linear equations using slope-intercept form (Week 4 Monday) - Writing linear equations (Week 4 Wednesday) -Graphing linear inequalities (Week 5 Monday) -Graphing absolute value equations (Week 5 Wednesday) Test on all concepts (posted Week 6 Monday, must be submitted by the following Monday) Receive feedback on test and complete grade report by Friday of Week 7. Each topic has a video lesson and homework assignments that will be posted on the stated day. The videos will explain the relevant concepts and work through several examples. The homework assignment includes practice problems of the concepts taught in the lesson. To encourage learner-to-learner interaction between students and allow them to help each other grow in understanding the concepts, each student must post the work-out solution to one problem in the classroom for each homework set. The student may choose any problem not already posted by another student. Students can offer positive feedback to each other and ask questions if they don't agree with the solution. The complete solutions to the homework assignment will be posted with the next lesson for the student to self-check. A quiz will be posted on Monday of Week 3 and Monday of Week 5. Students will have until the following class to submit the quiz. Each student will receive a personal video with feedback on each quiz. A test on all concepts will be posted on Monday of Week 6, along with the homework solutions to the previous assignment. No new lesson will be posted on Monday of Week 6. Students will have one week to complete the test and submit it by Monday of Week 7. By Friday of Week 7, the student will receive the grade and detailed feedback on the test. The next recommended course is Algebra Skills-Word Problems, Systems of Equations, Exponents
Learning Goals
Students will gain a solid understanding of the basic topics covered in the second quarter of Algebra 1.
Other Details
Supply List
Students should have paper and a pencil while watching the videos, so that they can work out the practice problems. It is also helpful to have a printer if you want to print out the worksheets, quizzes, and tests. However, that is not necessary. I will also accept the quizzes and tests written out on paper. Just make sure that the problems are clearly numbered.
