includedClass Experience
US Grade 4 - 7
This multiday course will introduce two units of Common Core Algebra. Students completing the course will have a jumpstart on their Algebra readiness . This is a teacher lead, interactive class; I will present the lesson and we will practice together. My goal is to build a classroom community where students are comfortable asking questions and commenting as I believe this drives the learning for the whole cohort. The topics covered: Weeks One and Two: Systems of Equations and Inequalities - In this unit we will explore a variety of ways to solve a system of equations or inequalities and special types of systems. Weeks Three and Four: Polynomials and Factoring - In this unit we will add, subtract, and multiply polynomials. We will factor polynomials and look at special patterns with polynomials.
Learning Goals
The students will:
- Write and solve systems of linear equations by graphing, substitution and elimination.
- Solve systems of linear equations having no solution or infinitely many solutions.
- Solve linear equations by graphing a system of linear equations.
- Write and graph systems of linear inequalities in two variables.
- Find the degrees of monomials.
- Classify, add, subtract and multiply polynomials.
- Use patterns to multiply polynomials.
- Solve polynomial equations in factored form.
- Factor polynomials using the greatest common factor.
- Solve polynomial equations by factoring.
- Factor trinomials in all forms
- Factor special products
- Factor polynomials by grouping.
