This course is designed to provide a comprehensive coverage of the concepts in an Algebra 1 course. During this class we will get through 3 chapters. This is a continuation of the first section. Students will apply previous mathematical experiences to solve real world problems. Every class will follow a similar outline. All classes will begin with a short warm up. This could be skills that they may have previously learned before taking this course, or those that we have just reviewed. After the warm up, the topic will be introduced. The class will follow and I do, We do, you do format. This means, I will review the first few examples. Then we will complete a few examples together and then we will end with a them completing examples independently. There will be homework at the end of each class and it will be due before the start of the next class. Notes and corrections will be given in the classroom. If many students struggle with the concept, we will review and answer questions in class. Please note this class will run 3 days a week for 10 weeks during the school year.. Students will be encouraged to take part 3 to complete the year long course. The topics are as follows: Chapter 4 Equations of Linear Functions Class 1 - 2 Writing Equations in Slope Intercept Form Class 3 - 4 Writing equations in Standard and Point Slope Form Class 5 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Class 6 Review & Quiz Class 7 Scatter Plots & Lines of Fit Class 8 Correlation & Causation Class 9 Regression & Median Fit Lines Class 10 Inverse Linear Functions Class 11 Review & Test Chapter 5 Linear Inequalities Class 12 Solving Linear Inequalities by addition and subtraction Class 13 Solving Linear Inequalities by multiplication and division Class 14 Solving multi Step inequalities Class 15 Review & Quiz Class 16 Solving compound inequalities Class 17 Inequalities Involving Absolute Value Class 18 - 19 Graphing Inequalities in Two Variables Class 20 Review & Chapter Test Chapter 6 Solving Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities Class 21-22 Graphing System of Equations Class 23 Substitution Class 24-25 Elimination using Addition and Subtractions Class 26 Elimination using Multiplication Class 27 Review & Quiz Class 28 Applying Systems of Linear Equations Class 29 Systems of Inequalities Class 30 Review & Test
In this class students will gain an understanding of a few of the algebraic concepts such as equations of Linear Functions, Linear Inequalities, and Systems of Linear Equation & Inequalities. This will prepare them for the final section of this comprehensive algebra course.
Most materials will be provided by the instructor. This will include worksheets and assignments needed to review. Students will need access to a printer to print notes and assignments. A basic calculator is needed (TI-30x) or a graphing calculator (TI-84). If students have access to a smart phone or tablet they can use a calculator app similar to Graphing Calc 2. They can also use the scientific calculator at desmos.com/scientific or the graphing calculator at desmos.com/graphing. These are my favorite. Students should also have blank paper (lined or unlined) for taking notes and writing examples, graph paper for the graphing sections.
I am certified to teach children for grades K-12. I have been working in education for many years and have seen students gain success with interactive programs. As a special educator, I have learned different techniques to work with all students to support their learning It is my knowledge, skill set, and love of learning that would make me a great educator for your child.
