About

The goal of this series is to prepare for algebra 1 over the summer! Each week, we will be focusing on two topics, with three sessions a week. In order to do this, I will be pairing shorter units with longer units. Dates/times are subject to change, my summer is a bit hectic! Office hours and catch-up sessions will also be available!
