Math Medic Algebra 1 Units
Ready-to-be-taught lessons for every day of the school year, along with expert tips and questioning techniques to help the lesson be successful. All lessons are in the Experience First, Formalize Later (EFFL) format, an inquiry-based instructional model.
Algebra 1 sets the foundation for higher-level math by building conceptual understanding around equivalence, solving equations, and the differences between linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. A strong emphasis is placed on analyzing how these functions change and interact in various contexts.
