This is an ongoing weekly class. You can choose the day of the week that is most convenient for you. In each class, we will study a new Algebra 1 topic. This class is relevant for those studying Algebra 1 or wanting a refresher course before entering Algebra 2. Sessions will not build upon each other but do require a knowledge of Pre-Algebra. Class will consist of a review and key vocabulary for the week's topic. I will teach concepts and give examples via a slide presentation. Once we have an understanding of the concepts, we will practice problems. Students will have time to practice the problems on their own. As I facilitate the problem via the slide presentation, students will be working on their own paper. Students will answer questions verbally or through the chat feature. For homework, I will provide practice problems with answers for the students to work on. I will be available through the classroom if students have questions after class. Algebra topics that will be covered include: solve linear equations (1-step & 2-step equations, ratio proportions, similar figures) and graph linear equations (plot points in a coordinate plane, find the slope & intercepts and direct variation), and solve systems of equations (graphing, substitution, add/subtract, multiply, inequalities), exponents, I am available to teach any topic that the student may need help in. Please note that the course material will cycle every 12 weeks. The schedule will follows: -Solving linear equations -Graphing linear equations -Writing linear equations -Solving systems of equations -Exponents
Learning Goals
Students will both review and learn key Algebra 1 concepts of linear equations and solving 2 unknowns using 2 linear equations.
Other Details
Supply List
Each student should have paper, pencil, calculator and graphing paper during the class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
I will be using concepts and mathematical equations from, McDougal Littrell, "Algebra 1", 2007.
Teacher expertise and credentials
3 Degrees
Doctoral Degree in Education from University of New Mexico
Master's Degree from University of New Mexico
Bachelor's Degree from University of Minnesota
I have taught geometry and algebra via OutSchool in 2020. For 8 years, I taught algebraic equations to pre-engineering students. With my background in personal development and educational leadership, I will try to motivate students and encourage them to appreciate the application of algebra in real world situations.
