  • Describing linear equations in slope-intercept and standard form

  • Solving systems of equations using graphing, substitution, and elimination

  • Expanding understanding of exponents

  • Solving basic quadratic equations with factoring

  • Using unit multipliers to convert between units of measure

Additional Concepts and Skills:

  • Applying properties of arithmetic functions to algebra

This is a 2-day per week class. It is expected that your child come both days with their homework completed. There will be time during each class period to go over any questions they may have about the homework. Should they have any questions or concepts they want to discuss further, they should write them onto post-it-notes and inserted into the text on the corresponding page to ensure that it gets addressed in class.

By the end of this course, students will be ready for Geometry.
