Course Overview
Course Overview
This course is designed to meet the needs of students who will be continuing their study of mathematics through all four years of high school and into college. Techniques and procedures of problem solving are stressed with emphasis on the understanding of concepts.
In the first semester, we'll review and build on the middle school math foundation needed for this year. We'll revisit linear functions from Math8 and look at them in various forms. We'll solve systems of linear equations, and linear inequalities to wrap up the first semester.
In the 2nd semester, we begin looking at polynomials, exponential functions and their applications, working though lots of applications. We wrap-up the 2nd semester with quadratics, solving these guys with many different methods.
You're going to learn a lot this year and I'll be there to help you.

I have a set of 10 graphing calculators that students may use during class as needed. Students may also check-out a calculator from the NGC library to use for the entire year.
Westlake High School utilizes the Google Classroom platform to share classroom resources, many assignments, and assessment preparation materials to students. WHS students will receive a classroom code to access these materials, submit assignments, and track any missing work. When the student receives the class access code, parents may sign-up for periodic updates from Google Classroom.
This calendar is for my 1st, 2nd, 3rd Period Algebra 1 Classes
