Get Ready for Algebra 2! A Summer Time Review of Algebra 1 (Ongoing)

Does your child need an Algebra I review before taking Algebra 2? This class has you covered! This refresher class will cover percentages, exponents, order of operations, solving equations, inequalities, slope, radicals, functions, polynomials, and the quadratic formula. ***Content will recycle every four weeks.***

This class is for students who need an algebra refresher or review before starting Algebra 2. This is an Algebra 1 review class, so students should have prior knowledge of Algebra concepts. 

Each week, I will provide guided notes and homework. Homework is optional; I will leave it up to parents to choose what is best for their child. If the parents/students choose to turn in homework, I will review it and give individual feedback. I will also post answers to homework problems the evening before the next class so that parents or students can check their work. Students are encouraged to ask me to review any homework problems they don’t understand. The goal is for families to have the ability to tailor homework to their needs; students can do a portion of it, none of it, or even request more challenging practice.
During each class, students are encouraged to ask questions. Most of the class will review new lessons with guided notes and complete practice problems.
