Description

Class Experience

This course is meant for students who have completed Pre-Algebra B: Prep for Algebra I. Those who have not should read the entire course description to ensure they are prepared for it.

Note-taking

A necessary part of the process of learning, this provides a reference for the student inside and outside of the classroom. Without it,...

Here are the concepts to be studied:

The continuing importance of basic math concepts
Word problems and writing expressions for them 
Equations
Inequalities
Formulas that include algebra
Linear equations in formulas
Equations with variables on each side
Coordinate plane
Graphing linear equations
Slope of a line
Y-intercept
Relations and functions

How pre-algebra concepts and applications work for Algebra I

Homework
It will be assigned in each class, logged for student and parent notification, and reviewed at the next meeting. About three to six hours per week should be allotted for it. Students would be wise to check their work for errors; the confidence of having the right answer is hard to beat. Work should be submitted before class convenes to allow examination of penmanship and form that could affect proper calculations and understanding of the lesson.
