WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

Outcomes, not lecture notes.

01

Apply the order of operations (PEMDAS) to evaluate complex algebraic expressions involving variables and exponents

02

Solve multi-step linear equations using the distributive property, combining like terms, and inverse operations

03

Write and graph linear equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and point-slope form

04

Calculate slope from two points, a graph, or a table — and interpret it as a rate of change in real-world contexts

05

Solve and graph linear inequalities on a number line, including handling sign flips when multiplying or dividing by negatives

06

Solve absolute value equations and inequalities by analyzing both positive and negative cases

07

Solve systems of linear equations using graphing, substitution, and elimination — and interpret what each type of solution means

ABOUT THIS CLASS

Algebra 1 Fundamentals is a year-round supplemental class designed for students who are currently taking Algebra 1 in school and want to genuinely own the material — not just pass through it. Every week, students sharpen the core skills that school pacing guides rush past: solving multi-step equations, mastering slope and linear functions, working with absolute value, and tackling systems of equations. This isn't about keeping up — it's about building the kind of deep, flexible understanding that makes Geometry, Algebra 2, and standardized tests feel manageable instead of overwhelming. If you're a driven student who knows that real confidence comes from real mastery, this class is your edge.

SYLLABUS

Make the Basics Automatic When a student is still working hard on integer operations, fractions, or the order of operations, there's little attention left for solving the equation in front of them. We revisit the pre-algebra skills Algebra 1 assumes until they're automatic.

Lock In This Year's Learning Algebra moves fast, and each unit leans on the last. We circle back to key concepts from earlier in the year, like solving linear equations and inequalities or graphing lines from their slope, so later units have something solid to build on.

Tackle What's in Front of You Whatever unit your class is in, from systems of equations to exponential functions to factoring quadratics, students get guided practice and clear strategies for the problems on this month's homework and tests.

Preview What's Next Wouldn't we all love a sneak peek at our next challenge before the clock starts ticking and the points start counting? We preview upcoming concepts, like quadratic functions or function notation, so new units feel familiar instead of intimidating.
