2nd Period: Algebra 1(Pre-AP) Back to Section List »

Algebra 1 ( Pre-AP )

Check the first section:  "Class Requirements and Calendar" for updated information. 

Algebra 1 (Pre-AP)  From everything that we've been shown of  the Pre-AP concepts for our county,  we should all be very excited!  All the national and international research reinforces the ideas to be implemented by "Laying the Foundation" for Pre-AP courses.  As teachers, we will be setting higher expectations of our students, and try to engage the students on many different levelsThat is, LISTEN TO THIS ONE....... Teachers have been notified that thorough questioning does NOT mean to drown students in hundreds of problems, but rather to attack fewer problems with more intensity.  After 4 years of tutoring in college and 17 years of teaching, I can truly say that not everyone learns at the same pace nor in the same way.  My class is designed to incorporate the standards set by the Alabama Course of Study, Jefferson County Guidelines, NCTM, and GBMP(Greater Birmingham Mathematics Partnership. )  I believe that students should have the opportunity to use several methods to learning and solving problems , dependent upon their individual learning styles.  Students will be expected to work as individuals as well as in group situations.  We will have daily work, homework, quizzes, tests and projects that will be graded in order to evaluate learning.  Math is a language, and we will emphasize math vocabulary and concepts on a daily basis.  I look forward to teaching you this year, and I hope you enjoy what is left of the summer!
