Course Load
Pre-Algebra and Algebra are both FAST PACED courses, I try to cover half the book in one session
Pre-Algebra: 60 Topics in the book, about 23 this session.
Algebra: 52 Topics in the book, about 20 this session.
This is a 7 week session, we have 26 days.
Some days we will cover more than one topic.
Some topics will take more than one day.
MATERIALS
Please be prepared for class by bringing necessary materials every day.
YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO TAKE NOTES, I suggest not writing in the workbook so you can use it again if you need to.
The TI-30XS Multiview is what is provided when you take the GED.
It is built into the testing program.
Handouts
I pass out quite a few handouts for my classes, as do other teachers.
I am providing a folder for you to use for my classes.
Yellow for Pre-Algebra and Green for Algebra.
This is mostly to help students who have me for BOTH classes. Resource materials are in both folders, so you do not need to search for it, just take out the correct folder.
CLASSWORK
Please feel free to discuss problems while you are doing classwork.
However, I expect you to stop talking and pay attention to the board when I begin to review the problems.
At the top right corner of each PowerPoint slide for a lesson there will be a page number or other indication of where we are working.
If you need to step out of the room, or are taking notes when I move on, please check to see where we are working.
HOMEWORK
Homework will be given almost every day; it is important to do it, so you get practice on the material.
QUIZZES
There will be a few short quizzes throughout the session, usually when we finish a topic.
Remember this is not a graded course, the quizzes are so you and I know how well you are understanding the material.
If you are absent, you are responsible for the material. I post the PowerPoints and homework on my website at the end of each day.
Excessive absences from the program, or from a single class, can affect your status with the program.
Please, call or email the office if you will not be here.

About the GED
The minimum score needed to pass each part of the GED test is 145.
A higher score on one part will not make up for a lower score on another part.
If you do not get the required (or desired) score on any part of the test, you can take that test two more times without any waiting period, based on availability.
After your third attempt, you will have to wait 60 days to test again.
This allows you to test eight times in a year, per subject.
About the GED
Once you pass a subject, you do not need to take it again unless you want a higher score.
