Algebra I Prep for Success

Lay the Foundation for High School Math: Ready to strengthen your math skills before the school year begins? In this seven-week foundational Algebra I summer course, you’ll explore how mathematical ideas connect and apply algebraic thinking to real-world problems while working with linear equations, inequalities, functions, systems of equations, and introductory polynomial operations.

Why Take This Course? Designed as the bridge between middle school math and high school algebra, this course will help you strengthen foundational skills, reinforce key algebraic concepts, and gain confidence before entering the academic year. You’ll strengthen your logical reasoning and problem-solving skills, setting you up for success in Algebra I and beyond.

Note: This course functions as a preparatory course rather than a full Algebra I replacement. Students should expect to dedicate approximately 10-12 hours per week to instruction and practice.

Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra or equivalent

Students in GOA courses will need reliable access to a computer with webcam/microphone connections, an email address (preferably school-based), a Web-conferencing app (GOA courses use Zoom), and a Word processing app (GOA courses use Google’s G Suite). When necessary, alternative arrangements may be made. Some courses require additional materials which can be found in the Course Outline.
