Beginner Level
Join me for a comprehensive 6-week summer school class designed to reinforce key Algebra 1 concepts. This course will revisit essential units. At the end, I’ll wrap up with a thorough review to solidify your understanding. 💭What to Expect: -Scaffolded instruction. During each session, we'll start with more support and gradually work towards more independent problem-solving, ensuring a smooth learning curve. -Daily homework. Plan on daily practice outside of classroom time. -Weekly mini...

Learners will gain a basic understanding of Algebra 1 principles.
Homework Offered
Daily homework consisting of 6-10 problems over that day's topic. Plan on daily practice outside of classroom time. Answer keys are provided so learners can check their final answers. Turn in homework by Friday each week for personalized feedback. I'll plan to grade it and provide feedback to your learner by Monday of the following week. If I don't receive homework by Friday, it will not be checked and feedback will not be given.2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
1-Weekly mini assessments. These are self-checking, 5 problem Google forms assessments to help your learner check for understanding. (No login is required.) Learners can re-take these as many times as you'd like. They will be able to see what they missed, if any, as soon as the quiz is submitted. Individual tries or scores for the mini assessments are not reported to Mrs. Kennedy. 2-Final Assessment & Certificate: Learners must be enrolled for the entire course to receive a final assessment. Upon course completion, a final assessment will be provided. Learners who submit their completed assessment and score 70% or higher on the assessment within two weeks of the course ending will receive a certificate of passing Algebra 1. Alternate versions of the assessment will be available for 2 retakes, with a maximum of 3 attempts. All requests for alternate versions and learner submissions of completed assessments must occur within 2 weeks post-course for Mrs. Kennedy to issue the certificate.Grades Offered
Learners who are taking this class for Algebra 1 credit will receive a letter grade when requested by the parent. A passing certificate will be provided for learners who pass the final assessment as described above, in the Assessment Policy. The grade will be based on the highest score on the final assessment (among completed assessments submitted within 2 weeks of the last day of the course ending) as follows: A: 90-100% B: 80-89% C: 70-79% F: <70%
Learners should have taken Algebra 1 and either failed the course or need a refresher before moving on to Geometry or Algebra 2.
Students are required to bring a pencil and notebook paper (or write on a tablet/ipad). Additionally, students are required to have a scientific calculator during our sessions that is not the standard phone calculator. I highly recommend the TI 30XS Multiview for its use of square roots. Message me if you'd like a link to order it from Amazon (approximately $20). Students will need to download and/or print the provided pdf's I will share throughout the class.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Google forms will be used for the weekly mini assessments. Learners do not need to log in to take the mini assessments or to see their results.
