Algebra 1 (Glencoe), Part One
Live course taught by Emily Nardozzi for Fall 2026 High School Algebra 1
Summary

Learn how to master the skills of Algebra I and polish your logic, critical thinking, and mathematical reasoning – and start high school math with confidence.

Instructor Bio: Emily Nardozzi

Course Description: Algebra 1 is a key course which sets the foundation for all future mathematics. In this course, you will learn to think more abstractly and analytically. You will write, solve, and graph linear and quadratic equations. You will learn to solve quadratic equations through factoring, completing the square, graphing, or applying the quadratic formula. This course will also study monomial and polynomial expressions, inequalities, exponents, functions, rational expressions, ratios, and proportions. Algebraic skills will be applied in a wide variety of problem-solving situations.

Special notes

This is Part One of a two-part course. Students are expected to register for Part Two in the spring. Mrs. Nardozzi provides recorded 20 to 30-minute lectures in addition to the 14 LIVE classes.

Special note: One week the live class may be changed to a pre-recorded class.

About Emily Nardozzi, MEd

Emily Nardozzi received her undergraduate degree in mathematics and secondary education from Saint Mary’s College of Notre Dame in 2009. She then participated in Notre Dame’s ACE (Alliance for Catholic Education) program, earning a Masters in Education. Mrs. Nardozzi taught at St. Jude in St. Petersburg, Florida for three years and at Father Gabriel Richard High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan for three years.

Emily Nardozzi lives in Michigan with her husband and five beautiful children. She spent my childhood playing school and fell in love with math during her academic years.

When she began studying in college, her heart kept pulling me to become a math teacher. She have taught and tutored math for over 14 years. It brings her great joy to find creative ways to explain math concepts and watch the "light bulb moment" happen for her students when concepts click and make sense.

Teaching for Homeschool Connections has been a tremendous blessing, and she cherishes the ability to teach math in an atmosphere of faith and love. God is so good!
