Algebra I Intensive

Instructor: Joshua Glass | August 3-7, 2026 (9am-12pm)

In this intensive course, students will build a strong foundation for success in Math I by learning how algebra connects expressions, equations, functions, graphs, and real-world situations. The course begins with function notation, algebraic vocabulary, simplifying expressions, and solving equations and inequalities before moving into linear functions, slope, graphing, and systems of equations. Students will then study exponent rules and exponential functions, followed by polynomial operations and factoring strategies that prepare them for quadratic functions. The course concludes with quadratics, where students will analyze parabolas in standard and vertex form, solve quadratic equations by factoring, graph key features, and apply quadratic models to projectile-motion scenarios.

Grading Breakdown

Students are given a final grade based on the following four factors:

Homework (30%) Graded for completion, not accuracy

Quizzes (30%) In-class comprehension checks

Class Participation (20%) Attendance, attentive, respectful to instructor and classmates

Upon completion, students will receive a certificate of completion if possessing a passing grade. If students have a grade A- or higher, students also receive a certificate of excellence.
