Welcome to your Algebra Readiness class! Football is not learned by silently watching others play. Likewise, the only way you can become good at math is by doing problems and talking about them. If you do both, you will learn math. Hence, you must have the willingness and maturity to study & complete assignments every night. Furthermore, you will find that math is not only useful; it is fun.

Because you will be working in study teams, you are expected to:

  • develop your ability to contribute to and benefit from working together in study teams
  • bring your textbook, calculator and well-organized notebook to class EVERY DAY;
  • ask questions of others in your study team when you do not understand; and
  • be responsible for understanding all the work all year.

Please be sure to read the Algebra Readiness Syllabus, (pdf is on the right), and return the bottom of the Notebook Assignment (pdf is on the right) signed by both the student and the parent.  Students are required to keep a copy of the syllabus in their notebook, under the Assignment Sheets section.

Here are Some Things You May Find Helpful
Technology Resources
This Geometry curriculum includes many lessons that make use of technology capabilities in the classroom. Through the use of dynamic geometry software (Desmos, Geometers Sketchpad, and Cabri Jr.) you will see geometry through a dynamic environment that facilitates understanding, exploring, and conjecturing. Click here to see videos and a list of eTools to access them.
Parent Support
Click here for a website that offers support for Parents of Algebra Readiness Students.
  • The Parent Guide for Algebra Readiness discusses the main ideas of each chapter, offers several solved examples, and provides hundreds of additional practice problems (with answers).
