Algebra I part I
Mr. Wolfgang
Welcome to LCHS! This course is the first math requirement as you work towards
graduation. Algebra I part I, Algebra I part 2 and Geometry or Functions/Algebra will be
your 3 required math credits for graduation. Like any skill or talent, such as playing a
sport or a musical instrument, you must be willing to put forth the effort and work to
mastering the task. Regular practice is what it takes to be and remain successful. Plan to
be engaged throughout class as we will be learning in a variety of ways. Come to class with
an open mind and a respectful personality.

1 in. 3 ring binder

Pencil (No pens or markers are allowed)

Calculator (I will have these available for use)

Textbook (these will stay in the class)
Rules:
1. Be respectful!
2. Be prepared!
3. Have fun!
Attendance:
Good attendance is needed to be successful in school, even more so for a math class. The
attendance policy follows the school policy: for each day missed, you have one day to make
up the work. Work can be made up independently, during RR, and before or after school
(make plans with me). Again there is no homework only classwork that will need to be made
up.
Note:
I will do all that I can to help you be successful in this class. We will have fun, but there
will be a lot of serious times that will need your direct attention. The ultimate
responsibility lies with you as a high school student. Please do not hesitate to ask for help
so that you can keep your grades up. I am available during RR or before/after school if
you make arrangements. I look forward to an enjoyable and productive year!
