The Algebra extension course focuses on Pre-Algebraic skills intended on building a firm foundation in those skills to assist students as they move to more challenging and complex mathematic problems.Students will use hands-on exploration, visual clarification, and written expression with symbols. Students will work in pairs, small groups and practice math skills using computer programs. Instruction will include visual and hands-on activities. The general pacing is dependent upon achievement gains demonstrated through a variety of assessments throughout the course.Classroom Expectations:1. Come to class READY to learn.2.

Home Practice may be assigned daily, Monday through Friday, and is scaled so that it should not take your child more than thirty minutes to complete. Each home practice assignment is worth 5 points. In order to receive full credit on your home practice, you must attempt every problem, show your work, and have it completed on time. Home practice is graded strictly on effort; therefore, not turning in an assignment is very detrimental for your child’s average. The amount of days to complete make-up assignments will be determined by the number of days absent.Quizzes usually cover one or two sections of each objective. Various quizzes will be announced, and some will not. Tests are given at the completion of each objective. Tests are usually a combination of multiple choice and free response questions. Students will be given advance notice on test dates.Semester Final: A cumulative final exam will be given at the end of the semester. Projects will be assigned quarterly. Some projects will be completed in class, while others will be completed at home. Each project will be discussed in class, as well as examples shown of completed projects. Students will be given a rubric for grading. ................
