Pre-Algebra Unit 3

This class is part of a series of classes meant to provide opportunities for students to review and practice math concepts taught in pre-algebra. This is the third class of the series, and focuses on pre-algebra skills that are typically taught in eighth grade math.

Learners should feel comfortable with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing whole numbers, decimals, fractions and integers independently before enrolling in this class. 

Learners should also bring paper/pencil or something to write with to each class meeting. 

A link to an optional independent practice activity will be posted in the Outschool classroom after each class meeting (usually the next morning). These activities are not required, but are there for learners to practice in between class meetings if they'd like to.

Below is a list of concepts that we will be covering during this course.

Day 1: Algebraic Vocabulary and Writing Variable Expressions
Day 2: Evaluating Expressions (one-variable, multi-variable, absolute value, radical, and rational)
Day 3: Distributive Property, Combining Like Terms, and Equivalent Expressions
Day 4: Identifying Solutions to Equations, Writing Equations, and Solving One-Step Equations
Day 5: Solving Two-Step Equations
Day 6: Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides
Day 7: Solving Multi-Step Equations
Day 8: Writing, Graphing, and Solving One-Step Inequalities
Day 9: Graphing and Solving Multi-Step Inequalities, and Inequalities with Variables on Both Sides

Please note that this is a multi-day class with a set schedule. Please review the entire schedule before enrolling, as missed classes will not be rescheduled or refunded. Thank you!
