Algebra 1 is the foundation for the rest of your math career! I am very excited to be working with you this school year. Algebra 1 will focus on expressions, equations, functions and some statistics. This class will involve lots of class participation, group work/collaborative learning, projects, classwork, independent practice, and assessments. I have high expectations for all of my students and will do my best to help you achieve those and I expect the same hard work from you.
Algebra I Syllabus
2023 - 2024
Academic standards, chosen by the Tennessee State Board of Education, provide a common set of expectations for what students should know and be able to do at the end of a specific grade or course. Local school districts determine the order in which these state-mandated standards are addressed in their schools. For a breakdown of standard pacing and course objectives for Algebra I students in the Clarksville Montgomery County School System, please visit the Curriculum Resources link under the Students & Parents tab on the CMCSS homepage.
It is the policy of the Clarksville Montgomery County School System to follow the dictates of state statutes in the selection and use of all instructional materials. Parents or legal guardians may request to review any instructional materials used in the classroom of the parent or legal guardian’s child following the guidelines set forth in Instructional Policy INS-A073 found at: https://employees.cmcss.net/misc/ViewISO?filename=INS-A073.pdf
The chart below outlines the units of study for Algebra I and possible major assignments or field trips that could be used to enhance student learning or solidify mastery of standards in each unit. This chart is not inclusive of every assignment for Algebra I, as additional or different assignments may be created based on the needs of students. Specific details for major assignments will be shared with students and parents or legal guardians as the standards related to the assignments are addressed in class.
