Students will learn the basic concepts of algebra. The class is structured into 9 mods (weeks). Each mod has 3 lessons that are taught through edpuzzle videos. Students can use their notes to answer the edpuzzle questions. Each mod there are 30 questions of homework. This course is "spiraled" meaning that the majority of the homework is focused on the lessons learned in the mod, but there may be work from the prior mods to help with overall comprehension and retention. 

Mod 1: Comparing and Ordering Real Numbers, Simplifying Square roots, Properties of Real Numbers
Mod 2: 1 Step Equations, 2 Step Equations, Word Problems
Mod 3: MultiStep Equations, Word Problems, Special Cases
Mod 4: Equations with Variables on Both Sides, Proportions, Word Problems
Mod 5: Coordinate Plane, Functions and Function Notation, Domain and Range (Simple)
Mod 6: Domain and Range from a Graph, Applications of Domain and Range, Table-Rule-Equation
Mod 7: Identifying x and y-intercepts, Graphing from Standard Form, Standard Form Word Problems
Mod 8: Slope as Rise over Run, Slope Formula, Slope Applications
Mod 9: Graphing Lines in Slope Intercept Form, Writing Equations of Lines in Slope Intercept Form, Solving for y
Each mod has 3 edpuzzle videos (with Edpuzzle quizzes that students can use their notes for) along with 30 questions of homework assignment problems (mostly focused on the mod lessons but will include some prior mod questions as well).  For this reason, students should take their notes seriously and keep a binder.

There is a binder given for this course. Students can take notes using the binder of notes. The intention is that students get used to using their notes to help them better understand course content. Because some problems from the assignments may be based on prior mods, students can then use their binder to go back and look for the material that the question pertains to in their binder. 

If students need additional help, they can sign up for the homework help course that is listed (please make sure to sign up for the homework help for Algebra 1). If students would like one on one help, they can sign up for my one-on-one tutoring course. Both of these are offered on an "as needed" basis. 

Because we use  jamboard, edpuzzle, and google drive there are parental notices that you should be aware of:
Google provides information about the information it collects, as well as how it uses and discloses the information it collects from Google Workspace for Education accounts in its Google Workspace for Education Privacy Notice. You can read that notice online at https://workspace.google.com/terms/education_privacy.html You should review this information in its entirety.

I will make myself available for this course for 12 weeks for those students who are looking for a letter grade and certificate of completion. I check the classroom notifications and will respond within 1-2 days. 

If students need one on one help through video, it may be beneficial to sign up for one of my one on one tutoring classes. These are 45 minute one on  one sessions.
