In this one time class, students' knowledge will be refreshed on the topic of translating English phrases into an algebraic expression.  We will go over the common keywords that refer to each of the four basic math operations.  Then we will strategically analyze and break down the given verbal phrase before piecing it all back together to form a coherent algebraic expression.   Word problems such as in this topic are challenging to many students.  I provide a positive learning environment and plenty of patience to help theI knowledge stick. I emphasize practice, practice, practice, along with checks for understanding for students.
