Series Details
About
Hi! Having trouble with the basics of algebra? Well, this is the perfect series for you! In this almost-two-month long adventure, we will learn the following Algebra I topics:
- Variables ("Why x?")
- Solving equivalent expressions
- Solving linear equations and inequalities
- Unit conversion
- Linear equations and graphs: slope-intercept form, point-slope form, and standard form
- Systems of linear equations
- Graphs of linear inequalities
This series is meant for beginners (who know pre-algebra) or those who just wish to brush up on their fundamentals. There are many more complex Algebra I topics, but I'll only be focusing on the six mentioned above.
For every topic, there will be an interactive lecture, a short quiz, and time for you to ask questions and further discussion. More about this in the 'Orientation' Session!
See ya there!
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Topics are cumulative, so try to attend every session — right from the beginning. If you have to miss a session, let me know — I will help you out afterward and even host a makeup session so that you can catch up on missed material.

I am from India. I like pop music, and learning!
Upcoming Sessions
Session 7
Working with units
Today, we'll learn dimensional analysis, how to convert between units (i.e., from m/s → km/h), and the use of appropriate units.
Session 8
Linear equations & graphs
Why do graphs exist? Join this session to find out, and learn about:
- Linear graphs involving two variables
- Finding the slope of a graph, and its intercepts
- Applications of linear graphs (i.e., word problems)
Session 9
Forms of linear equations
We will learn the three equivalent ways of writing a linear equation of a graph:
1) Slope-intercept form
2) Point-slope form
3) Standard form
We will derive the three, solve questions, and understand the benefits of each.
Session 10
Office Hours
Ask questions about what we've covered so far!
Session 11
Systems of equations
Today we will look at what a system of two (or more) equations is, and how they can be solved using substitution, and elimination.
Session 12
Systems of equations
Let's solve unique questions about systems of equations!
Session 13
Inequalities (systems & graphs)
In this session, we will solve real-life problems by graphing linear inequalities — a powerful process called 'linear programming'.
Session 14
Inequalities (systems & graphs)
Linear inequalities can be graphed, just like regular equations — they're just a little more complicated. How? That's what we'll learn today!
Session 15
Review
The final session! The journey ends with a brief recap of EVERY topic this session has spanned across.
