Mr. Schiessler's Website
Below I have listed a brief description of each of the courses offered in my classroom. |
![]() Algebra I: In this course students will explore the language of Algebra in verbal, graphical and symbolic forms. Problem solving activities and applications encourage students to model patterns and relationships with variables and functions. The course will integrate with other areas of math, use applications and connect to other topics they are studying. Some of the topics covered in this course are simplifying expressions, polynomials, exponents and radicals, solving equations, systems of equations and quadratics, and graphing solutions to equations and inequalities. There will be approximately 3-4 hours of homework each week. |
![]() Basic Geometry: This course balances sound skills and concept development with the applications, connections, problem solving, critical thinking and technology that the student needs to apply to mathematics. This section of Geometry will focus on the fundamentals that focus on becoming proficient toward the state standards and gaining the basic concepts relating to Geometry. Some of the topics covered in this course are minimal or basic proofs, congruence of triangles, the study of quadrilaterals and their properties, right triangles, area, surface area and the volume of figures. The prerequisite for this course is Algebra I.
