Mequon-Thiensville School District Homestead High School Paced Algebra 1 10th grade

Paced Algebra 1 is a course for students challenged by the rigor of Algebra 1A. The course covers the same topics as Algebra 1A (regular level) but not in as much depth nor at the same pace.
 * Description of Course:**

Tony and Krista - I really like the way you have modified this activity. I would suggest that you make the content questions a bit more relevant for the students, just change a few words Content: How does the use of a GPS help to find the "coordinates"...... How could this math and technology be used in History, Science or Phy.....  Unfortunately you did not give me access to your google docs so I can not view the template comments posted 10/18 cj Thx - we now have access. Looking like the unit plan is shaping up. I see the instructional procedures at the bottom. Continue to work on development of the assessment tools and resources for students. It will be interesting to see how this unit works with your students. cj 10/31 [|Google Doc Link]
