Algebra 1 Curriculum
* Algebra Essentials *
Algebra 1 *
Honors Algebra 1
This curriculum plan was developed by the Summer Math Committee in the Summer of 2008. All four Rockford high schools had representatives present as well as John Zuba (District 205 High School Math Supervisor). This plan is expected to be implemented in the Fall of 2008 with essentially the same topics and timetable used in ALL THREE levels of algebra 1. Website links were added as a convenient reference for both teachers and students.

Full Textbook Websites that are appropriate for the entire book are listed below the curriculum including applications with videos, a graphing calculator, textbook websites, and more. Also there is a list of links to "Cumulative Quizzes and Tests" for student practice. ETA has provided some "Manipulative Documents" as well as a "Suggested Book List". If you do not have MS Powerpoint installed on your computer, download PowerPoint Viewer here. |

|
|
All Sections listed below are for the McDougal Littell "Algebra 1 - Concepts and Skills" unless the section number is different as described below.. |
|
|
If the section numbers vary, then the second listing is for the McDougal Littell "Algebra 1" textbook. |
|
Under each section of the "Topic" we have linked to "sample problems" that can be used to introduce each section. These are thumbnails but you can click on each slide and a larger view suitable for use with a Smartboard or LCD projector. The complete series is available online for purchase at: Math Slide Show.
In addition all links named "HHS PowerPoint" and "HHSB PP" are from the Hononegah High School Math Department. Again the links are provided for each topic of our text. Special Thanks to them for sharing these lessons. |
