Mathematics 

Algebra 1 is the first course in the college preparatory math sequence. The goal of this course is for the student to engage in a positive learning experience in which there is increased appreciation and understanding of mathematics in the world. To reach these goals the course curriculum is structured around the “All about Algebra” (Gina Wilson) curriculum and DeltaMath program to teach the topics. A sound foundation in arithmetic and pre-algebra skills is essential for success in this course. Topics covered in Semester 1 are the following: Order of Operations; Distributive Property; One and Two-Step Equations; Multi-Step Equations; Absolute Value Equations; Inequalities; Functions; Linear Equations; Solving Systems Equations and Systems of Linear Inequalities.

Algebra 2 is the third course in the college preparatory math sequence. The goal of this course is for the student to engage in a positive learning experience in which there is increased appreciation and understanding of mathematics in the world. To reach these goals the course curriculum is structured around the “All about Algebra” (Gina Wilson) curriculum and DeltaMath program to teach the topics. A sound foundation in arithmetic and algebra skills is essential for success in this course. Topics covered in the Spring Semester are:  the Polynomial Functions; Radical Functions; Expotential and Logarithmic Functions; Rational Functions; Conic Sections; Sequences and Series.

Geometry is the second course in the college preparatory math sequence. The goal of this course is for the student to engage in a positive learning experience in which there is increased appreciation and understanding of mathematics in the world. To reach these goals the course curriculum is structured around the “All about Algebra” (Gina Wilson) curriculum and DeltaMath program to teach the topics. A sound foundation in arithmetic and algebra skills is essential for success in this course. Topics covered in the Spring semester are:  Relationships and Triangles; Ratios and Proportions; Polygons and Quadrilaterals; Right Triangles; Circles; Volume and Surface Area.

This is a year long course that will cover all concepts leading up to the pre-algebra level.  Students will use Saxon 7/6 as the course book as well as Delta Math to reinforce concepts through practice, quizzes and testing.  Class sessions are virtual or in person and will take place on Mondays and Wednesday beginning in September 2022 and will run through May 2023. There will also be drop in office hour on Fridays if additional help is needed.

We will be using Saxon Algebra 1/2 3rd Edition with supplemental worksheets and activities to ensure understanding.  We will also be using Delta Math to reinforce concepts through practice and testing.  Topics covered include variables, solving equations, multi-step equations, fractions, factors and exponents, ration proportion and probability, percents, linear functions, basic geometry (area, volume, etc.), and introduction to polynomials.  An optional "drop in" virtual hour will be available each week for students to access additional help. This is a year long class that will meet virtually and/or in person on Mondays and Wednesday for 1 hour each day.  There will also be drop in office hour on Fridays if additional help is needed.

Is your student planning to Dual Enroll at the Community College and they need help setting up a study plan to prepare to take the test?  Going into the test without review can lead to a lower score than expected.  Students do not pass or fail the Accuplacer, but preparing for the test can ensure students are placed in the right courses.  I will meet with the student to go over study tooks that are available and have them take a practice test on their own time.  We will meet again to go over the results and target where the student needs more review.
