This first semester of a two semester course will introduce basic algebraic terms and procedures in a logical, sequential manner using visual and verbal cues to enhance learning and retention. There is a focus on understanding rather than merely rote repetition. This four month semester covers: combining, distributing, exponents, isolating, factoring (including the difference of two squares and trinomials). Algebra IA is excellent both as a refresher for those who have struggled with algebra before and as a first course for any student who has mastered fractions, decimals and percents. All new students must either take a placement test at EIE prior to taking the course or have passed Advanced Arithmetic or Pre-Algebra (teacher discretion). This course uses Dorothy McCandliss Algebra I textbook. Limited to 15 students. Algebra 1B and Word Problems will be offered in the spring.
WHEN: Tuesday and Thursday 9:00 - 10:30 or 2:30 - 4:00 (Your choice).| Bookmark this page to: |
