Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Guiding Question:  Do you know how to do Algebra?

Welcome to Algebra!  I have no doubt that you can be successful in this course whether you are taking it for the first time or you doing it again.  Most people already know a lot about Algebra concepts and it is just a matter of applying that knowledge that you already have!

You can do well in Algebra by taking the time to learn how to do each concept.  There are a lot of resources you have that can help you to learn the material on your own.  (Of course, your teacher is always available by email or phone).  For some students, doing the problems in the math book will be all you need to learn the material, other students may enjoy the various online math tutorials to learn the material, while others may find that meeting with a math teacher once a week will work best for them.  It is up to you to decide which works best for you so that you can achieve your goals for Algebra I.

STUDENT RESOURCES:  If you’re reading this, you should have already gone through the training and received an Algebra CD and the log in information for the various online resources  (if not, email your teacher).  See the variety of resources that you have at your fingertips to help in your study and learning of algebra by clicking on “student resources.”

ONGOING WORK:  Ongoing Activities in Online Algebra

  1. All work will be completed for this course via the online “test” area, emailed to your teacher, or face to face.  Each lesson will tell you how to complete the work.
  2. SET GAME - Do the “SETS game” 3 times a week.  Record the amount of time it takes you to solve the SET game each time and keep track in an Excel Spreadsheet.  Set Game - http://www.setgame.com/
  3. Complete and turn in the activity log at the end of each module.
  4. Module Tests need to be taken face to face (Wednesday or Thursday from 3-5) unless special arrangements are made with the teacher.  You can do two module tests at a time to economize your time.

HOW DO I TURN IN MY MATH WORK?

Some assignments are out of the math book while others will be online and part of the online “test” section.  You will be working out of the math book, Prentice Hall Algebra which you should have already checked out of your school library.  To turn in your math work, you can:

    • Email a Word document with questions and answers to the teacher
    • Email scanned hand-written work to the teacher (be sure to make sure your writing is dark!)
    • FAX hand written work to the teacher or CAL Online office (be sure to make sure your writing is dark!)
