Introduction Algebra 1.5 enables students to learn concepts of algebra at a pace which allows more in-depth understanding than normally found in a traditional setting. Students will use various learning methods throughout the year. You will work alone, with partners, and in groups. You will have many opportunities to demonstrate your mastery of the subject matter.
Homework Philosophy Although math can be fun, it also requires hard work. Homework is the method through which most of your learning will take place. In doing the homework, you will develop proficiency in the skills necessary to be successful in math. Only by working through assignments will you be able to learn all that is expected, thereby preparing yourself for tests. Some assignments will be longer than others but all will have the same point value in determining grades. Do your homework!
Expectations You will be expected to show respect for everyone in the classroom each day. Some ways to demonstrate this are:

Materials You must bring the following items to class each day:
Homework Help Online You will be expected to look at my website when you are absent. You will find the assignment schedule, Power Point presentations, etc., and it is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
