Description

Algebra I is the foundation--the skills acquired in this course contain the basic knowledge needed

for all future high school math courses. The material covered in this course is important, but

everyone can do it. Anyone can have a good time solving the hundreds of real-world problems

algebra can help answer. Each module in this course is presented in a step-by-step way right on

the computer screen. Hands-on labs make the numbers, graphs, and equations more real. The

content in this course is tied to real-world applications like sports, travel, business, and health.

This course is designed to give students the skills and strategies to solve all kinds of

mathematical problems. Students will also acquire the confidence needed to handle everything

high school math has in store for them.

Grading Policy

To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can

learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the

course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons,

multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are

expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When

teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.

Grading Policy

To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can

learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the

course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons,

multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are

expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When

teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.
