Algebra and Pre-Algebra Information for Students and Parents

Welcome to Mrs. Robison's Algebra and Pre-Algebra classes at Midvale Middle School. Our courses focus on mastering linear relationships, rational numbers, and foundational concepts in mathematics, including geometry and probability. Students will engage in problem-solving, group work, and assessments to encourage participation and learning. Homework is crucial, with around 10 minutes expected daily. Stay updated on assignments and grades via Skyward and our website at robisonlovesmath.wikispaces.com. For questions, please email me at mindy.robison@canyonsdistrict.org.

  2. Basic Info • Mrs. Robison: Midvale Middle School • Website: robisonlovesmath.wikispaces.com • Click on Algebra or Pre-Algebra • Assignments will be uploaded • Email: mindy.robison@canyonsdistrict.org

  3. Course Description: Algebra • This class will focus mainly on linear relationships. • study solving linear equations & inequalities • systems of linear equations & inequalities • generating equivalent expressions • using formulas • applying proportionality. • We will also study exponents, polynomials, geometry, probability, and irrational numbers.

  4. Course Description: Pre-Algebra • This course is designed to develop fluency with: • rational numbers • proportional relationships. • Students will begin to understand the foundations of • Algebra, • Geometry • Probability

  5. Textbooks & materials • Algebra:Glencoe’s: Algebra 1 • Pre-Algebra:McDougal Littells: Passport to Algebra and Geometry • The students will need: • a 3-ring loose leaf binder (1 inch) • paper & pencil • This binder will serve as the student’s math journal. Students will also need to have paper and a pencil each day.

  6. Evaluation • Student’s grades are earned on a point system based on self-starters, assignments, math journals, projects, quizzes, participation, and unit tests.

  7. A: 100-94 B: 83-86 C: 73-76 D: 63-66 A-: 90-93 B-: 80-82 C-: 70-72 D-: 60-62 B+: 87-89 C+: 77-79 D+: 67-69 F: Below 59%
