Math is difficult for many, but it doesn’t have to be. This course is designed to be as succinct and detailed as possible, removing the barriers and fear behind the subject, and making it easy to understand.
This course covers graphing linear equations and analyzing their different properties. Each lesson starts with an introduction, explaining the ideas and key concepts behind the topic.
Have you ever felt that the homework assignments given were much harder than the examples shown in books? Each lesson includes several examples, ranging from easy to difficult. This is done to help students see how different problems can be presented and written, giving them a more expansive and enriching learning experience.
Knowing these concepts will give students a strong, solid understanding of coordinate geometry providing an essential base for graphing other types of equations in future material. This course is intended for those with a firm understanding of prealgebra, and preferably some algebra 1 vocabulary and concepts. Whether you are relatively new to studying the subject or if you need to brush up on it, this course is for you.
