We offer multiple skill level classes, including two levels of PreAlgebra.  Please read course descriptions, take placement tests, and contact teacher if necessary to assure you sign your child into the correct class.

 

​Algebra I (Niblack)

Topics covered include signed numbers, exponents, and roots; absolute value; equations and inequalities; scientific notations; unit conversions; polynomials; graphs; factoring; quadratic equations; direct and inverse variations; exponential growth; statistics; and probability. 

​

• Class time will be spent learning 2 new lessons and taking weekly homework checks.

• At home, students are expected to watch my videos for 2 additional lessons, complete all homework assignments and most tests.

• Parents are expected to help at home by checking homework and correcting mistakes with the student daily and proctoring tests.

 

Required materials: 

• Saxon Algebra I, Third Edition: textbook

• Solutions Manual

• Test Forms

• Texas Instruments 30XA or 30XIIS calculator

• graph paper

Algebra 2 (Phillips)

Algebra 2 will develop topics traditionally taught in second-year algebra, as well as real-world problems including gas laws, force vectors and​ percent markups.  Other topics such as set theory, statistics and​ probability are also covered.  Additionally, we will make applications to​ geometry, physics and chemistry. 

Required Materials: Saxon Algebra 2, only 3rd Edition (textbook, test booklet, answer key), Scientific calculator (Recommended: TI30), Graph paper​

Geometry (Phillips)

During our study of Geometry we will cover topics such as lines and​
angles, congruence, inequalities, parallel lines, quadrilaterals, area, similarity, right triangles, circles,  and regular polygons. These concepts will be developed through many real-life scenarios and will leave the student with the ability to use Geometry in everyday situations.​

Required Materials: Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding by Harold Jacobs (third edition)

 

Saxon 8/7 Pre Algebra (Niblack)
This pre-algebra course is designed for students who successfully completed Saxon 7/6. It has heavy emphasis on arithmetic review while also teaching algebraic concepts.  Saxon 8/7 reviews arithmetic calculation, measurements, geometry and other skills, and introduces pre-
algebra, ratios, probability and statistics. Students will specifically learn about equivalent fractions, adding/subtracting/multiplying fractions, the metric system, repeating decimals, scientific notation, Pi, graphing inequalities, multiplying algebraic terms, the Pythagorean Theorem, the slope-intercept form of linear equations, and more.

• Class time will be spent learning 2 new lessons, taking weekly homework checks and completing investigations.

• At home, students are expected to watch my videos for 2 additional lessons, complete all homework assignments and most tests.

• Parents are expected to help at home by checking homework and correcting mistakes with the student daily and proctoring tests.

 

Required materials:

• Saxon Math 8/7 with Pre-algebra – Homeschool, Third Edition: textbook 

• Solutions Manual

• Tests and Worksheets

• graph paper

• compass

• protractor

• ruler, scissors

Saxon 1/2 Pre Algebra (Niblack)

This pre-algebra course is designed for students who successfully completed Saxon 7/6 or completed Saxon 8/7 but aren’t quite ready for the rigors of Algebra I. It has less arithmetic review than Saxon 8/7 and focuses more on algebraic concepts. Saxon Algebra 1/2 serves as an effective bridge to the secondary subject of Algebra by providing an introduction to geometry and discrete mathematics. Specific topics covered include fractions, decimals, mixed-number operations, scientific notation, prime and composite numbers, order of operations, coordinates, exponents, square roots, ratios, algebraic expressions, solving equations with one variable, working with signed numbers, scientific notation, ratios, geometry fundamentals, probability, and the Pythagorean Theorem. This course is designed to solidify basic mathematics skills and prepare students
for success in Algebra I.

• Class time will be spent learning 2 new lessons and taking weekly homework checks.

• At home, students are expected to watch my videos for 2 additional lessons, complete all homework assignments and most tests.

• Parents are expected to help at home by checking homework and correcting mistakes with the student daily and proctoring tests.​

 

Required materials:

• Saxon Algebra ½, Third Edition: textbook

• Solutions Manual

• Test Forms

• graph paper

• compass

• protractor

• ruler

• Texas Instruments 30XA or 30XIIS calculator

Saxon 7/6 Math (Phillips)

This course is designed for those not quite ready for pre-algebra and is a stepping stone to Pre-algebra.  It introduces functions and coordinate graphing, integers, exponential expressions, and prime factorization.  Students will also learn about the order of operations, number lines, decimal place value, how to find the percent of a number, how to round decimal numbers, attributes of geometric solids, and more.  Each week we will cover 3-4 lessons and tests will be given every 10 lessons.  Text-Saxon 7/6

Saxon 6/5 Math (Phillips)

Designed for 5th or 6th graders, Saxon 6/5 will explore concepts such as the order of operations; geometry and measurement; integers; divisibility concepts; ratios; statistics and probability; prime and composite numbers; patterns and sequences; and powers and roots. We will also learn adding/subtracting fractions with a common denominator, multiplying by multiples of 10 and 100, perimeter, simple probability, decimal parts of a meter, reciprocals, volume, square roots, graphing points on a coordinate plane, and more.  Each Tuesday I will teach four lessons from the textbook and these lessons will then be reinforced through the homework assigned that week.  Ample class time will be given to reviewing homework from the previous week and answering questions that may arise from the lessons.
