In this second part of Mastering Algebra, we will concentrate on The Coordinate System, from graphing to writing equations. Who can join? Everyone, from a beginner wanting a head start, to an experienced Algebra student that needs additional practice, as well as homeschool students needing math instructions. Either way, this is the class for you. Let's begin: Week 1: The Coordinate Plane ~ Plotting Points ~ Points as Solutions to Equations of Lines ~ Graphing Equations of Lines Using Points Week 2: Intercepts and Slope ~ Graphing Equations of Lines Using x- and y- Intercepts ~ Finding Slope from Graphs ~ Finding Slope form Equations Week 3: Graphing and Writing Equations of Lines ~ Graphing Equations of Lines Using the Slope-Intercept Form ~ Graphing Horizontal and Vertical Lines and Fastest Method ~ Writing Equations of Lines Given Slope and the y- Intercept Week 4: Writing Equations of Lines ~ Writing Equations of Lines Given Slope and a Point ~ Finding Slope Given Two Points ~ Writing Equations of Lines Given Two Points Week 5: Writing Equations of Vertical, Horizontal, Parallel, and Perpendicular Lines ~ Writing Equations of Horizontal and Vertical Lines ~ Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines ~ Write Equations of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Students will have access to the following material: • Weekly Video Lessons will be posted every Monday at 8:00AM EST. • Student is encouraged to take down notes in the provided workbook. • Additional examples with step-by-step written solutions will be available for download. • Additional homework practice questions with answers also available for download. • Graded weekly homework assignments and end of class assessments can be provided by teacher upon request. Student will be encouraged to: • Answer a weekly discussion question and comment on at least one other classmates’ posts by Sunday (OPTIONAL). • Teacher will also be contributing to the weekly discussion question. • If weekly graded homework assignments requested, these will be due every Sunday. • If graded end of class assessment requested, this will be due one week after the last day of class. There are no live meetings, but students should prepare to spend 2-4 hours per week completing the course.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
A few pieces of information:
1. There are no live classes, objectives and materials are posted every Monday
2. Materials build on previous lessons, so is important not to skip a lesson
3. While it is a FLEX course, if requested, students will have weekly assignments due Sunday
4. Students can always contact the teacher directly if there are any questions, expect a 24hr delay/response at most
5. If you need a different starting date, let me know
Supply List
There are no materials to purchase or accounts to be created. All material/access will be available in the Outschool class, provided by teacher. We will be using FREE Open Educational Resources.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
