Description:

In this Algebra 1 course, students will develop understanding for linear and exponential relationships. Students will learn about linear equations and functions, systems of equations, exponents, polynomials, and more. Students will manually solve and graph equations on paper as they discover real world applications of Algebra.

Homework in this class will include viewing online tutorials and videos designed and/or selected by the instructor. Students will need reliable access to a device that can run Microsoft Teams as a ‘home base’ for class resources and homework, as well as instructor communication, but Teams meetings will not be part of our regular class schedule.

The class model and instruction will often be ‘flipped’ with videos to help with direct instruction at home so that class time each week can include short lesson / demonstration time and maximize small group and individual coaching and feedback as students practice new skills. We will meet once per week during Monday class hours. Plan on 3-4 hours each week for homework. The curriculum is teacher developed and incorporates Eureka Math, an open online resource that balances fluency and deep math conceptual understanding.
