There are 11 Algebra 1 units in this bundle.

1. The Foundations Of Algebra
2. Solving Multi-Step Equations
3. Solving Multi-Step Inequalities
4. Functions, Relations, Domain & Range
5. Linear Equations & Slope
6. Equations Of Linear Functions
7. Systems Of Linear Equations & Inequalities
8. Exponents & Exponential Functions
9. Polynomials & Factoring
10. Quadratic Graphs & Equations
11. Radical Functions, Expressions & Equations

All units come complete with:

• Notes - scaffold learning with problems that target common mistakes & misconceptions, motivate the need for multiple solving methods, and show why algebraic properties work
• Pacing guides - map out your whole year & each day
• Warmups - can also be used as mini-quizzes, short homework assignments, exit tickets bell-ringers, etc.
• Answer keys - step-by-step worked-out solutions for each problem

❤️ Principles behind this resource:

• All units & lessons should feel like they build gradually so concepts snowball and grow naturally together.
• Students shouldn't feel like they are just memorizing steps. There are lessons included that motivate the "why" behind the standard procedure.
• Print & go binder note units maximize in-class instructional time while also promoting organization so students can more easily refer to their notes.
• Topics take repetition. The warm-ups catch misconceptions that may have developed and let students have another chance to ask questions about their learning from the prior day. They are also helpful for getting absent students back up to speed.

And that's why the 3 most common words teachers use to describe this resource are...

• Thorough
• Thoughtful
• Comprehensive

With the right organization and scaffolding, all students are capable of learning a rigorous math curriculum, but planning to make that happen shouldn’t need to take all of your spare time.

✳️ Feedback from teachers like you:

• "I am so glad I purchased this resource. My systems unit was a mess - a hodgepodge of random resources accumulated over the years. NO MORE! This is a beautiful resource, complete with thoughtful examples that cover everything the kids need to know about systems. I just started using it this week and it is excellent. I know I will use it for years to come!" - Kelsey R, Unit 7 - Systems
  
  
• "This is an amazing resource! I can tell that an experienced math teacher put a lot of thought into making these notes. I buy A LOT of resources on TPT and so often have buyer's remorse because it's not as perfect as I thought it would be. ...but your attention to detail is above my expectations (which are high), and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for the high-quality resource!" - Stacy G, Algebra 1 Full Year Bundle
