In this self-paced course, students will learn High School Algebra 1. Pre-recorded lessons created & provided by me will be posted on the classroom page for each lesson. Video lessons will cover various topics, and students will be expected to take notes. Homework will also be assigned weekly through the classroom page and will consist of worksheets and/or working on Khan Academy. Additional videos can be requested. Extra worksheets, and guides will also be provided on the classroom page for learners to have additional resources if needed. The course will cover topics such as solving equations and inequalities, graphing linear and quadratic functions, factoring polynomials, and simplifying algebraic expressions. Students will also learn how to use technology tools such as scientific calculators and online resources to enhance their learning. By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation in algebra and be well-prepared for further study in mathematics. Weekly check-ins and homework submission are required, with students able to send in their work as an image, scan, or PDF. Homework, quizzes and unit tests will also be issued through Khan Academy, and a final test reviewing the entire course will be administered on paper (PDF). This class does not meet live and for self-paced classes communication is key. Please communicate with me if you need additional resources, extra help, etc. The great thing about self-paced classes is they can be customized, shortened, or extended if need be. Prior knowledge of Pre-Algebra is highly recommended, and outside practice with assigned assignments is encouraged for a better understanding of the material. Struggling students can request live one-on-one for an additional cost.

over 20 WeeksLesson 1:
Algebraic Foundations
These initial classes lay the groundwork for algebraic understanding by introducing fundamental concepts such as variables, expressions, and the properties of real numbers. Students learn how to manipulate algebraic expressions, simplify expressions, and understand the rules governing algebraic operations. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for more advanced topics in algebra.
