ALGEBRA I LESSON PLANS—SUSAN SAULS

During the 2012 – 2013 school year, I used the software that came with the textbook series. I was not particularly pleased with it. My principal purchased the Pre-Algebra and Algebra I software from Kuta Software (http://www.kutasoftware.com/), and I intend to use it this year to make out tests and quizzes (and additional practice material, if needed). I also have an OLD series of books from Dale Seymour Publications, which I believe is now part of the Pearson Learning Group. There are four books, with page after page of practice problems (including application problems). The copyright date is 1984, so I’m not sure if they are available anywhere.

Quizzes and tests are parallel in construction, and students may use notes and homework assignments when taking quizzes. Students may use a reference page (available on the web site with the End of Course material) on quizzes and tests, as well as the AMSTI graphing calculators.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
