Part of our new Living Roots Agriculture and Natural Resources program! Interactive opportunities resulting in local agriculture and natural resources. During this year long class, we will be covering various topics related to animal products, farm to table, forestry, wildlife management, ecology, and stewardship. Students will be responsible for completing supervised agricultural experiences (SAE) resulting in personal growth of initiative, accountability, and leadership. Students and parents can look forward to four Friday/or Saturday field-trips, in-class guest speakers and producing tangible goods. Parents will be responsible for collaborating with their student to complete at home expectations.

I have enjoyed teaching math for many years now and strive to make this class as enjoyable and pain-free as possible, but with that said the student will definitely need to put in the time each week to complete their homework. It is a twice a week class, Mondays and Wednesdays. I have made videos for the student to watch each week before they come to class, which will provide them with a clear picture of what to expect for the week, not to mention I do a portion of their homework in the videos. 😊 The videos will also help if your family is out of town or the student misses a class. You will need to have Google classroom to view the videos and Marco Polo for one on one communication as needed.
Major Concepts and Skills Covered:
*Graphing linear equations and inequalities
*Describing linear equations in slope-intercept and standard form
*Solving systems of equations using graphing, substitution, and elimination
*Expanding understanding of exponents
*Solving basic quadratic equations with factoring
*Using unit multipliers to convert between units of measure
Requires Math U See Algebra 1. Prealgebra prerequisite.
Homework: 1-2 depending upon the students knowledge of the subject

*See important note below. This curriculum covers: positive and negative numbers, variables, graphs (lines, circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas), absolute value, metric conversions, negative and fractional exponents, square roots, factoring polynomials, and more. It is very important that the student has a good understanding of: fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), solving for an unknown, and basic graphing of linear equations. Each student will have access to a weekly video they can watch before coming to class to help assist them in their understanding of the lesson. This is very helpful if your family goes on vacation or needs to miss a week. *****Also sign up for Introduction to Mathematical Modeling: Algebra 1 as a great addition to the Algebra 1 class. Giselle (Jaz) Veach has a degree in engineering and a heart to stop the most frequently asked question in math, “When am I ever going to use this?” She is using the same math book we will be using (no need for extra materials) each Wednesday from 2-3pm to teach the kids how to apply the Algebra 1 equations they’re working on to real life studies.
Requirements:
Algebra 1 student pack https://store.demmelearning.com/algebra-1-student-pack.html; Google Classroom app; Marco Polo app; Parent's signature on student's weekly quizzes; All IEP students must be accompanied by a parent during each class

Prerequisite: Must have been enrolled in fall term. This class is not accepting new students.
In this class we will continue to use the Math-U-See Algebra 1 curriculum to develop a deeper understanding of concepts such as: graphing linear equations and inequalities, slope-intercept vs. standard form, solving systems of equations, exponents, quadratic equations, converting between units of measure, and more. This class is held on both Mondays and Wednesdays, and in addition, students will be expected to complete 2-3 hours of homework each week. Extra videos may be provided for additional support.
Math-U-See is a skills-based program that focuses on student mastery of a concept before progressing to the next concept. A syllabus will be provided for students and parents.
Using the curriculum Math-U-See, students will learn about Algebra 2. The course covers topics involving factoring polynomials, using the quadratic formula, applying the binomial theorem, and working with imaginary numbers. Each week, students will be taught a new lesson on Monday with review and practice on Wednesdays. Video lessons will be made available for support. Requires Math-U-See Algebra 2 Student Pack which includes the student workbook and test book. It costs about $45.
Homework: 3-4 hours/week
