Algebra I

Below is an outline of how a typical class session will go.

• Students arrive and begin working on their Daily Drill

• Homework questions

• The previous day’s homework is graded and turned in

• The day’s lesson

Lessons will generally follow the textbook, except for in cases where I teach a unit covering a specific topic.  In order for unit topics to be effectively learned and retained, lessons will be taught out of order, and/or supplemental lessons will take the place of a textbook lesson.  The content will adhere to the California Common Core State Standards for Algebra I.

Tests will be given every 10 lessons, with a Tutorial review the day before the test.  In the case of a unit, quizzes will be given throughout the unit, and an assessment will be given at the end of the unit.  We will still have a tutorial review the day before the assessment.  The two units I will be teaching focus on Inequalities (Mid-November until Christmas Break), and Functions (January to early February).
