Algebra 1 (One year course)

Algebra 1 Class
This Denison Algebra I course is an excellent option for students who need extra support with math concepts. Mr. Denison’s teaching style is intentionally slow-paced, clear, and detail‑oriented, with supportive video lessons that help students learn independently at home. Students will complete four lessons per week outside of class, allowing us in‑person time to focus on testing, review, and meaningful discussion.

Denison Algebra I is a full, standard Algebra I course designed to give students a strong foundation for all upper‑level math. What makes this program stand out is its thoughtful, student‑centered design. It not only teaches essential Algebra I skills in a way that is easy to understand and remember, but it also equips students with the habits, strategies, and problem‑solving techniques they’ll need for long‑term success in mathematics. In other words, students won’t just learn algebra—they’ll learn how to learn math.

 *Students must have completed a pre-algebra course before enrolling.
