ALGEBRA 1

This first semester of a two semester course will introduce basic algebraic terms and procedures in a logical, sequential manner using visual and verbal cues to enhance learning and retention. There is a focus on understanding rather than merely rote repetition. This four month semester covers: combining, distributing, exponents, isolating, factoring (including the difference of two squares and trinomials). Algebra IA is excellent both as a refresher for those who have struggled with algebra before and as a first course for any student who has mastered fractions, decimals and percents. All new students must either take a placement test at EIE prior to taking the course or have passed Advanced Arithmetic or Pre-Algebra (teacher discretion). This course uses Dorothy McCandliss Algebra I textbook. Limited to 15 students. Algebra 1B and Word Problems will be offered in the spring.

WHEN: Tuesday and Thursday 10:30 – 12:00 OR 1:00 – 2:30

COST: $295 PLUS two textbooks available at EIE. Approximate cost of books is $45.00 for Algebra text and $25.00 for the Word Problem.

Homeschooling in Action

The immediate case against compulsory school for adolescents is quite simply their barbarity: it is a triangle of hatred, humiliation and contempt.
- Frank Musgrove

Homeschooling in Action

To confuse compulsory schooling with equal educational opportunity is like confusing organized religion with spirituality. One does not necessarily lead to the other. Schooling confuses teaching with learning, grade advancement with education, a diploma with competence, and fluency with the ability to say something new. - Wendy Priesnitz

Try not to have a good time ... This is supposed to be educational.
