Extra-Credit

Wisdom (not necessarily my own)

I will be the first to admit, some of the material coveredin this class is going to be challenging, but you may findsome of it a little slow and boring.

The best advise I can give is:

1) Just because I admit that some of the material may be boring, DON’T UNDER-ESTIMATE IT.

Prerequisites are the things you should know before entering a class (situation).

Prerequisites

Solving basic linear equations and dealing with fractionsis the main prerequisite.

Otherwise, you should have good reading skills and study habits.

Vocabulary will probably be your main obstacle.

Prerequisites

(Some) Vocabulary I expect you to know, and use immediately:

Perimeter –

Area –

Give an algebraic expression to represent the perimeter and area of the given rectangle:

b (units)

h (units)

b (units)

h (units)Perimeter = 2( h + b) units

Area = hb units2

Prerequisites are the things you should know before entering a class (situation).

Prerequisites

Solving and graphing basic linear equations will be reviewed.However, if this seems to give you much trouble, you will wantto get in for extra help and get it under control rapidly.This is an Algebra 1 task.
