Series Details
About
*Series requested by previous learners*
This will be an introductory series to Algebra 1. We will do a comprehensive review of each subtopic of Algebra 1 from algebra foundations to quadratic functions every week. We will be covering the whole Algebra 1 KA unit with some things discussed outside of Khan Academy.
There are no prerequisites, but some prior knowledge of pre-algebra (factors and multiples, percentages, ratios and proportions, etc.) would be beneficial.
Please feel free to explore the whole unit if you wish: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra
Here is also the link to the folder of all of the topics we have covered so far: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Q1CZFRO4NNNDbe_ngvvkzIHSQGQE_zfJ?usp=sharing
*More sessions will be added over time :)
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Although there is no strict attendance policy, it is recommended that learners attend every session since the concepts will build on each other. Missing 5 consecutive sessions without communicating with the tutor could lead to withdrawal. However, learners could ask for make-up sessions if they so desired.

Hi! I’m Christine, a grade 12 student hailing from the Philippines☀️. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, which is why I enjoy attending/hosting sessions here at Schoolhouse. Outside of academics, my hobbies include painting with watercolors, blasting loud music, and gardening. I am thrilled to be part of this amazing community 💖!!

Session 1
Orientation
We'll get acquainted with one another and we will discuss the schedule for this series. It's alright if you can't make it to this session, though your presence would be greatly welcomed. I will also introduce some topics (Set Notation, and Real Numbers) which I think would be fundamental for Algebra 1 :))

Session 2
Solving equations & inequalities
We will be solving equations and some word problems involving them (Integer, age mixture, money problems, etc.). Inequalities will be explored in the subsequent session, To see your assignments, I will be sending the link to my slides after each session. Catch-up sessions are always available when needed!
