This course is designed to provide a coverage of the prerequisites needed to start an Algebra 2 course. Students will apply previous mathematical experiences from pre-algebra and Algebra 1 classes to solve real world problems.

Every class will follow a similar outline. We will start with a brief warm-up. These warm-ups are designed to get your child thinking about Advanced Algebra Concepts. After the warm-up, the topic will be introduced. The class will follow an I do, We do, you do format. This means, I will review the first few examples. Then we will complete a few examples together and then we will end with a them completing examples independently. After the independent work the students and I will complete an informal assessment to solidify what has been reviewed during class. 

There will be homework at the end of each class and it will be due before the start of the next class. The purpose of the homework is to review the skills that were taught in class. They should post their answers in the learner section for feedback and review. Any questions that they may have can be asked before the start of the next class. The final class will be an assessment that will give you an idea on how ready your child is for Algebra 2. The topics are as follows:

Class 1: Representing Functions
Class 2: FOIL
Class 3: Factoring Polynomials 1
Class 4: Factoring Polynomials 2
Class 5: Counting Techniques 1
Class 6: Counting Techniques 2
Class 7: Adding Probabilities
Class 8: Multiplying Probabilities
Class 9: Congruent & Similar Figures
Class 10:Pythagorean Theorem
Class 11: Measures of Center, Spread, and Position
Class 12: Ready to go…Assessment
