GSE Algebra Support
Course Description:
Algebra Support will provide many opportunities to revisit and expand
the understanding of foundational algebra concepts, will employ
diagnostic means to offer focused interventions, and will incorporate
varied instructional strategies to prepare students for required high
school courses. The course will emphasize both algebra and numeracy in
a variety of contexts including number sense, proportional reasoning,
quantitative reasoning with functions, and solving equations and
inequalities. This is a year-long course comprised of two semesters.
During the first semester, students will take the Algebra Support class.
The support class will prepare students for High School Math. Students
will complete support modules which are intended to better prepare
students for success in a high school math classroom and focus on skills
that may not have been previously mastered. Coinciding with these
support modules, students will complete the first two units of GSE
Algebra I. During the second semester, the modules will be dropped and
students will complete the remaining four units (Units 3-6) of GSE
Algebra I.
