Course Description
Academic Year 2025-2026 • Grade 8 and above • Mathematics Sequence
Algebra 1
Algebra I is the gateway course for college admissions and the wonderful world of abstract mathematics. Using a top-tier curriculum designed for math champions, this course brings even the math-averse into the grand adventure of finding "x." Offering optimal support for all students, we meet in 50-minute sessions 3 times per week, a 100% increase over most AoPS classes online. Class sessions meet on Adobe Connect, a secure and feature-rich learning platform with audio/video, chat, whiteboards, and breakout functionality. Students will need working mics and a way to interact with the whiteboard via mouse or touchscreen.
All online materials for the course are provided gratis by the instructor. Students will need to sign up for free accounts on the Art of Problem-Solving website and the interactive learning site brilliant.org. Families also have the option to buy the Algebra I AoPS textbook from the AoPS site or their favorite used book reseller.
