Welcome to Algebra 1

Welcome to Mr. Zimbelman's Algebra 1 page.  Check back regularly to access mini-lessons, supplemental resources, classroom information and much more!

For an overview of Algebra 1,  access the Prezi (online presentation platform) below. To see the Prezi overview of Algebra 1, click on the play icon below the Prezi and you will be able to look through the presentation at your convenience. It will take a few moments to load once you have hit play. Once loaded, the easiest way to navigate through is to click on "More" and choose  “Fullscreen.” Once it is in “Fullscreen” mode, the arrows on the bottom of the screen will help you navigate through the Prezi. You only need to click on the right arrow once to move to the next section. It is important NOT to click directly on the Prezi at any point as you are going through the presentation. This will throw off navigation, so stick to the arrows at the bottom of the screen.
 
(Note: The Prezi does not appear to be displayed if using Firefox)  

Enjoy, and let's get excited about algebra!

Tell Me About Yourself

Write two paragraphs about yourself. In the first paragraph, you can write about whatever you would like that would help me get to know you more.

In the second paragraph, tell me about your experience up until this point with math. You do not have to answer all of the following questions, but use them to help you reflect on your math experience up until this point.

• What do you like about math?
• What do you dislike about math?
• What do you find challenging about math?
• Does anything about math make you nervous?
• Are there particular topics you find interesting in math?
• What can teachers do to help you learn math more effectively?

Syllabus

Mr. Zimbelman

Algebra 1

zzimbelman@strichardsschool.org ▪  (317) 926-0425 ext 202  

Welcome to Algebra 1!  I look forward to exploring math with all of you as the year progresses.  This syllabus will provide important information regarding our algebra class this year.  Let’s get excited!      

Classroom Expectation

•   Be engaged in the community within the classroom by:

o   Supporting and encouraging your classmates

o   Being respectful

o   Having a positive attitude towards learning math

o   Engaging and giving your best effort in all work done both in and out of the classroom

Procedures for Algebra 1

• Have two pencils with erasers, lined paper and homework out before class begins.
• Check the whiteboard to see if you need additional materials.
• Immediately start checking your homework once you are prepared.
• Engage in the lesson.

Homework

• There will be homework every evening in math.  Completed homework is expected each time our class meets.  Homework will be graded.

Quizzes and Tests

• Quizzes and tests will be announced in advance to give you time to adequately prepare. 
• We will practice and review prior to assessments.
• If you feel as though you need assistance with helping to formulate a plan to study for a quiz or test, ask Mr. Zimbelman and he will work with you.

Re-do Work 

• All assignments, quizzes and tests can be re-done.
• If you receive a grade below a 70%, you will have the opportunity to raise your grade to an 80%.
• If you receive a grade above 70%, you will have the opportunity to raise your grade by a maximum of 10%.

Absences

• When you are absent from class due to illness, you will have two days per missed day to make up missed work.  When you are absent due to another obligation within the school, your work is your responsibility and must be turned in on time.

Late Work

• 15% will be taken off for an assignment turned in a day late.  After a second day late, an additional 10% will be deducted.  An assignment cannot be turned in beyond two days late.

Help Sessions

• Tuesday:  7:30 – 8:00
• Thursday:  3:17 – 4:00

Grades

• Grades will be calculated based on a total point system.  Tests, quizzes, work you do in class and homework will be evaluated daily and will figure in to your grade.  You will be informed of your grade throughout the year.  If you would like to know what your grade is at any given point, ask Mr. Zimbelman.

Problem of the Week

Four people are trying to cross over a bridge at night and they only have 17 minutes to do so.  They only have one flashlight and it must be with the person (or people) who are crossing the bridge.  Because the bridge is not very sturdy, only two people can cross at a time.  Additionally, the bridge is long enough that the flashlight cannot be thrown.  It takes each person a different amount of time to cross the bridge.  If two people are walking together, the pair must walk at the slowest pace.
 
Sarah:  1 minute to cross                                          
Alex:  2 minutes to cross                                              
Jess:  5 minutes to cross                              
Adam:  10 minutes to cross 


Can you get them across in 17 minutes?
