My youngest sister is entering 9th grade in the fall and will be taking the accelerated course I taught this past year. My mom has asked me to work with her over the summer just to make sure she is 100% ready. I was able to reflect on the skills that my students needed this past to excel with the quick pace of Accelerated Coordinate Algebra/ Analytic Geometry A and decided to post what I plan on going through with my sister. She is SO excited to do math over the summer. She even rolls her eyes at me when I mention what is to come.
I have condensed the list to 3 major topics that every math student enrolling in the accelerated course should be 100% confident in. Topcis: 1) Solving one-step, two-step, and multiple-step linear equations 2) Graphing linear lines in various forms 3) Simplifying radicals with an index of two Kuta Software is awesome! The free trial has great worksheets that cover each topic and provide the answers. I am linking the worksheets I plan on having my sister work through. I will be there to help her but I also am showing her how to use tools like YouTube to watch quick tutorials on topics she wants more instruction for. Kuta Sheets by Topic 1) Solving one-step, two-step, and multiple-step linear equations One-Step Two-Step Multi-Step 2) Graphing linear lines in various forms Slope-Intercept Form Standard Form 3) Simplifying radicals with an index of two Worksheet 1, 2 This is just a start. I kept it to three major topics that I noticed that if my students where 100% in these areas they were able to focus on the new material and not be held up with much needed concepts. Happy Summer :)

Not only are you a dedicated teacher, but a helpful big sister too! This is a nice thing for you to do for her and I know she appreciated practicing math over the summer (eye roll)! Thanks for including the mention of Kuta software. I had to do a little research to know what it was all about. It seems that it can be a lifesaver in a pinch and the ability to print multiple versions would cut down on cheating on test day. Nice add. I enjoy all of your posts and learn something new every time I visit!
