Dear Algebra 1A Parents and Students,

This is the first of a two-year sequence of coursework. Together, Algebra 1A and Algebra 1B (offered next year) will be equivalent in course content to a traditional one-year Algebra 1 class. Both courses are designed around the California Mathematics Contents Standards for Algebra 1, grades 8^th through 12^th. The prerequisite for this class is successful completion of Pre-Algebra.

Students will be receiving a weekly syllabus for the first semester, which will let the students know reading and homework assignments. Students will take frequent quizzes and tests throughout the year, and a midterm/final at the close of each semester.

Please call me if you have any questions or concerns at 634-6467. My e-mail address is ccarlsen@keyestolearning.com. Here's to an exciting year of Algebra!

Carol Carlsen
