Class Rule:
Please treat everyone the way you want to be treated!
| Let |X| = | The way you treat everyone. |
| Let |X + 1| = | The way you treat the teacher. |
| Let |X + (X + 1)| = | The way you want to be treated. |

Key Algebra Concepts
Learning is an individual endeavor. Some ideas come easily; others take time--sometimes lots of time--to grasp. In addition, individual students learn the same idea in different ways and at different rates. Some students will need extra practice; others may not. However, all students will be successful this year, and they will be expected to master the following foundational Algebra topics:
| 1. Operations with numbers | 16. Zero Product Property and quadratics |
| 2. Combining like terms | 17. The quadratic formula |
| 3. Order of operations | 18. Solving inequalities |
| 4. Distributive Property | 19. Absolute value equations |
| 5. Substitution and evaluation | 20. Absolute value inequalities |
| 6. Tables, equations, and graphs | 21. Simplifying rational expressions |
| 7. Solving linear equations | 22. Multiply/divide rational expressions |
| 8. Writing equations | 23. Solving equations containing fractions |
| 9. Solving proportions | 24. Completing the square |
| 10. Proportional reasoning: ratios | 25. Laws of exponents |
| 11. Intersection of lines: sub method | 26. Add/subtract rational expressions |
| 12. Multiplying Polynomials | 27. Solving mixed equations |
| 13. Writing and graphing linear equations | 28. Pythagorean Theorem |
| 14. Factoring polynomials | 29. Simplifying square roots |
| 15. Intersections of lines: elimination method |
