How to get the most out of Algebra 1, Part Two (Sadlier-Oxford) with Monica Breier:

• First, read the course materials below before watching the first class.

• Always view the weekly checklist and check items off as you complete them.

• Have a notebook ready and available for class notes each session (also graph paper and a straightedge).

• Stay on top of assignments! Each class will begin assuming completion of the day before's task(s).

• Do the assignments, quizzes, and any extra work assigned for that week in the order they appear on the checklist.

• Once the course is completed to the parent's and professor’s satisfaction, there is a Certificate of Completion at the end to be filled in for your records.

This is Part Two of a two-part course.
