Review will happen in the classroom. It will only be reviewed live if many students didn't understand the concept and a reteach needs to happen. There will also be practice added to the classroom regularly.Assessment
Students will be assessed at the end of each topic. There will be a review and practice to ensure that students are learning what they are supposed to be learning.Class Experience
US Grade 7 - 10
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 two sections. Students will apply previous mathematical experiences to solve real world problems. Every class will follow a similar outline. In the classroom a weekly practice will be provided at the end of the week. Students can post their answers in the classroom. At the end of the following week, the answers will be reviewed. 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 11 weeks during the school year and we will cover the final 6 chapters. The topics are as follows: Chapter 7 - Exponents and Exponential Functions Class 1 - 2 - Multiplication Properties of Exponents Class 3 - 4 - Division Properties of Exponents Class 5 - 6 - Rational Exponents Class 7 - Mid Chapter Review Class 8 - 9 - Radical Expressions Class 10 - Exponential Functions Class 11 - 12 - Writing Exponential Functions Class 13 - Transforming Exponential Functions & Expressions Class 14 - Geometric Sequences & Chapter Review Chapter 8 - Polynomials Class 15-16 - Add/Subtracting Polynomials Class 17-18 - Multiplying Polynomials Class 19 - Special Products & Mid Chapter Review Class 20 - Distributive Property & Elimination Class 21 - 23 Factoring (Trinomials, Quadratic Trinomials, Special Products) Class 24 - Chapter Review Chapter 9 - Quadratic Functions & Equations Class 25 - Transformations of Quadratic Equations Class 26-28 - Solve Quadratic Equations (graphing, factoring, completing the square) Class 29 Mid Chapter Review Class 30 - Quadratic Formula
Learning Goals
In this class students will gain an understanding of a few of the algebraic concepts such as factoring, quadratic and exponential functions, radical expressions and triangles, rational expressions and equations, statistics and probability.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents should be aware that this course is the final part of an algebra course and students will be expected to have some knowledge of algebra skills gained in the first two courses. This final section will be rigorous and challenging.
Supply List
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. Students should also have blank paper (lined or unlined) for taking notes and writing examples, graph paper for the graphing sections. A whiteboard and dry erase markers would also be beneficial for interactive reviews.
