Algebra 1 is a critical element in secondary mathematics education. Topics introduced in Algebra 1 provide the foundation students require for future success in high school mathematics, critical thinking, and problem solving. The primary goal is to help students transfer their concrete mathematical knowledge to more abstract algebraic generalizations. Algebra 1 topics include recognizing and developing patterns using tables, graphs and equations. In addition, students will explore operations on algebraic expressions, apply mathematical properties to algebraic equations. Students will solve problems using equations, graphs and tables to investigate linear relationships.

Always complete your homework on paper (unless otherwise stated). Take a picture of your homework and keep the physical paper until your grade is recorded in PowerSchool.

1. HEADING: Write your first and last NAME, DATE, and PERIOD in the top right corner of your paper. Also include the ASSIGNMENT TITLE (ex: "pg.14 #1-5") in the top left corner.

2. COPY the problem/figure. For word problems, please write down all necessary information to set up the problem, or draw a picture.

3. SHOW ALL the WORK for full credit, which includes all steps leading up to the answer.

4. BOX or highlight your final answer.

5. CHECK your answers using the "Selected Answers" section of your textbook. 

6. CORRECT homework by re-doing the missed problem(s).
