Algebra I Clinic for Students Completing Grade 8 June 2017 7/24-7/28/17

Algebra Clinic is designed for students who need a refresher or who want to enhance their algebra skills before going back to school in September. This is a great opportunity to get ready for the PARCC test in algebra.  Topics will include: operations of real numbers and their properties;  solving linear equations and inequalities; writing and evaluating algebraic expressions; identifying and evaluating functions; writing linear equations; graphing systems of equations and inequalities; working with operations of polynomials; factoring polynomials; solving quadratic equations s and basic concepts of statistics.

(lab fee and materials included)

Algebra I Clinic Description

Objective: Review skills needed for successful completion of Algebra I as well as a preview of topics that will be taught in the upcoming year.

Method: A workbook will be provided in class that will contain a step by step process of topics covered as well as spaces provided for students to solve examples and take additional notes. A pretest will be given to determine skills the students have and those that need improving. A posttest will be given to show the improvement made on skills. We will attempt to cover as many of the following topics that time will allow:

• Operation of real numbers and their properties
• Solving linear equations and inequalities
• Writing and evaluating algebraic expressions
• Identifying and evaluating functions
• Writing linear equations
• Graphing systems of equations and inequalities
• Working with operations of polynomials
• Factoring polynomials
• Solving quadratic equations
• Basic concepts of statistics

Tentative Weekly Schedule:

Day-one: Pretest, integer operations without a calculator, solving linear equations and inequality, and writing linear expressions.

Day-two: Writing and evaluating algebraic expressions, identifying and evaluating functions, writing linear equations from word problems.

Day- three: Graphing systems of equations and inequalities (maybe solving them algebraically as well), adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing polynomials.

Day-four: Factoring polynomials, solving quadratic equations. Day-five: Basic concepts of statistics and posttest.
