Algebra 1

About Algebra 1

We will be studying concepts of solving equations, inequalities, systems of equations, and polynomials with a focus on their applications in real life. To prepare for mathematical proof and logic, we will practice justifying our statements and conclusions with supporting definitions and reasons throughout the year. 

About HOW & ELTs

By the end of 7th grade, we want ALL students to ADVOCATE for themselves, to PROBLEM SOLVE and be INDEPENDENT workers.Students should be prepared daily for both in-person and remote sessions with a charged iPad and completed work from the previous day. All in class and remote work will be reviewed and used as formative and summative assessments for the learning targets and be reported in the Habits of Work grade.  

Class expectations:

• Remember that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness.

• Follow the Shark Code: be safe, responsible, respectful & kind

• Work should be made up as soon as possible after a missed class or assignment. Make up work is the responsibility of the student. It is the student's responsibility to see teachers OR email and check GoogleClassroom.

• Students are expected to attend all in-person and remote classes.

• Students are expected to adhere to our community agreement in our class interactions.

• Be prepared:

  • Please have your iPad charged and ready to go each day!

  • Please bring your full water bottle and book with you each day.

  • Check GoogleClassroom regularly to make sure you have completed all assignments on time.
