These series will be centered around learning to multiply and factor quadratic expressions. We will follow the Khan Academy curriculum for the Algebra 1 [Quadratics unit](https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/x2f8bb11595b61c86:quadratics-multiplying-factoring) and aim to achieve mastery in each of the 9 skills. By the end of this series, you will be able to factor equations such as and expand expressions like !

As the school year begins, I'm hosting this series for learners who want to strengthen their Algebra 1 skills so that their performance in school increases. There are no prerequisites to join this course, however mastery of pre-algebra would aid greatly in understanding the content covered in this course. We'll cover Algebra 1 topics from start to finish, and will finish the entirety of the course before the school year ends. Homework will be optional, however I will provide many resources outside of Khan Academy for my learners to strengthen their skills. We'll play many math games as well, to keep things fun. To add on, please bring a piece of paper as well as a writing utensil to take notes on the content being shared throughout the series. Other than that, the only thing I expect from you is your attention throughout the series and your best effort. What are you waiting for? Register now!

In this crash course, we'll go over different topics in Algebra 1 each week. We will work towards building our understanding and foundational knowledge/skills about Algebra 1 topics. These topics include solving equations and inequalities, functions, exponential functions, quadratics, etc. There will be a session every week starting November 26, once a week on Saturdays. There will be about 16 sessions, maybe more depending on how many catch-up sessions I have to organize. Catch-up sessions will be held for individuals who couldn't attend the original session. These sessions will only be held if requested. Another thing that is included in every session is why the topic is useful. What I prioritize is learners understanding the use of the topic, rather than just learning about something and not understanding the applications of whatever you're learning. Also, I recommend taking notes as the session progresses to make sure you're focused, and so that you have another resource you could use to study. There are no prerequisites in order to attend this series. Lastly, I will post slideshows in the series group chat as a reference for any information you might need relating to that topic.
