• Elementary Algebra by Larson and Hostetler (4th Ed.), ISBN: 0618388176 NOTE: HHL will provide this book for a $30 rental fee for the school year.  If you would like to rent a book from HHL, please email lesley.mckaighhl@gmail.com by August 1st. 

Supply List: 1” three-ring binder, loose leaf notebook paper, 4 binder dividers, pencils, a pack of graph paper, ruler or straight edge, ink pen (any color is fine as long as it is not erasable), access to a calculator at home
Description: This is a college-prep Algebra I course.  Students will transition from manipulation of known numbers to finding an unknown value that is represented by a variable.  It is the starting point for learning mathematical symbolic reasoning. Topics covered include a review of the arithmetic skills needed to succeed in algebra, monomial and polynomial expressions, factoring to simplify and solve equations, solving and graphing linear and quadratic equations, and developing critical problem-solving skills by applying algebraic concepts to practical situations.  This course provides the foundation for success in advanced math courses.  Homework will be assigned at each class and will be due at the beginning of the next class, while a quiz or test will be given about every two or three weeks.
Prerequisite: A grade of 70% or higher in Pre-Algebra.  A pretest will be required for students who have not taken Pre-Algebra at HHL.
Tutoring: Ms. Scott and Mrs. Good will be in their classrooms from 10:00 - 10:40am on Tuesdays and Thursdays to help tutor students needing extra help. This is a free service for any student taking any section of Algebra I.

Course: Algebra 1 Delta Math  (not college preparatory)
Grade Level: 9-10 (Advanced 8th graders may apply if they have had a full year of Pre-Algebra)
Day/Time: Tuesday and Thursday 8:35 - 9:50am
Instructor: Carla Stevenson
Cost: $99 per month + $55 application fee
Online Availability: Students can enroll in this class as an Online Real Time student, pending teacher approval.
Book: None; Laptop required (brought to class)
Description: This course is designed for students who struggle with math. It will enable them to obtain the credits required for a high school diploma without unnecessary anxiety placed on them by trying to achieve the mastery required for college and/or standardized testing. Delta Math is a self-paced online platform we will use to help us achieve this goal. The broad topics that are covered in a typical Algebra I class will be covered in this Algebra I class, but the scope of the problems will be restricted so as not to overly frustrate students who struggle to understand the material. Thus, a student who completes this Algebra I Delta Math class will have done the work to obtain an Algebra I credit, but they may not have the problem solving skills or mastery needed to test well on college placement tests such as the ACT or the SAT. Students enrolling in this course will still be expected to know their math facts and will be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals, fractions, and signed numbers. The instructor will use the classroom time to teach topics in which the student will encounter during the week.  Students in this class will need to bring a laptop to class each day.  Tests will be taken at home so that students can maximize teacher assistance with problems when in the classroom.

*Algebra 2 Delta Math will be offered the following school year (2027-2028) to accommodate the students who choose to take Algebra 1 Delta Math during the 2026-2027 school year.  A student taking Algebra 1 Delta Math will not be adequately prepared to take our regular Algebra 2 course the following year.

Description: Precalculus is an advanced mathematics course designed to prepare students for the study of calculus by strengthening their understanding of essential algebraic and trigonometric concepts. Using Stewart's Precalculus (6th Edition) as the primary textbook, this course explores a wide range of topics that bridge the gap between algebra, geometry, and calculus. Throughout the semester, students will develop a deep understanding of functions and their properties, including polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Emphasis will be placed on graphing, solving equations, and analyzing function behavior. Students will also explore sequences and series, and the fundamentals of limits, providing a solid foundation for calculus. The course will integrate both analytical and graphical approaches to problem-solving and include applications to real-world scenarios.
Prerequisites: A grade of 70% or higher in both Geometry and Algebra II. We recommend that students have completed a challenging Algebra II course prior to taking Pre-Calculus at HHL.  By the end of this course, students will be well-equipped to tackle the challenges of calculus and other higher-level mathematics courses. A pretest will be required for students who have not taken Algebra II at HHL.
