=**Algebraic Concepts 101 (Two-week Course)**= = = =**Introduction:**= ==Welcome to Algebra Concepts. It's my pleasure to work with each of you for a very brief period over the next couple of weeks. This course will present concepts and operations that can be applied to the study of algebraic concepts and assists in building skills for performing specific mathematical operations and problem solving. The content of this course will highlight basic mathematical concepts; algebraic concepts; and transitional algebraic concepts. The course will include lecture, homework, technology, applications that will ensure the all participants are actively engaged in learning algebraic concepts.==

=**Introduction to Week one:**= ==In week one you will have to make sure you active participate in the discussion questions. Students will be required to answer the question and respond to at least two other students in the class. The individual assignment will require students to define a variable and write an algebraic expression. The group assignment will require each group to create a list of five polynomials and give specifications for each one.==

= Introduction to Week two: = = In week two you will have to continue an active participation in the discussion questions. Students will be required to answer the discussion question for week two and respond to at least two other students in the class. The individual assignment will require = ==**students will solve equations using the addition and subtraction properties for equations. The group will** be assign to the task of finding an adult in their lives who has a job that requires her to use or understand algebra, graphs or linear equations. Each participant in their assigned group must interview an adult and find out three specific ways she uses algebra in her job. == Introductory Podcast fo Algebra Concepts 101 == media type="youtube" key="y4_y-uRpiso?version=3" height="360" width="640" align="center" ==
