In this 20-week course on Algebra 1, students will receive the full Algebra 1 curriculum within the videos posted. Each video will be approximately 15-20 minutes. Within each video, we will go over homework, take notes on the next lesson, complete problems related to the lesson, and be given homework questions to go over in the next video. Zoom will be used to take class recordings while all recordings involve slide-lecturing with note-taking of relevant vocabulary and problem solving. Some recordings may include helpful videos and/or pictures to help students better understand concepts. After watching a recording, students will complete homework assignments to turn in online which are graded based on completion. Once we complete every lesson in a chapter, I'll record a short review session before showing a test in a recording. Once students complete a test, they will turn it in online to be graded. Before entering the class, students need to know how to determine units of their final answer whether they are adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing. They also should know how to add and subtract integers, complete calculations with positive and negative fractions, and multiply and divide fractions.
