This 9-week course for algebra teachers investigates students’ understanding of algebra and how this drives our teaching of the subject. Specific teaching strategies and stumbling blocks for students are a major focus. Online discussion forums create an interactive dialogue where participants explore algebra content and content pedagogy. Topics range from first-degree equations through quadratics, functions, inequalities, polynomials, and radicals.

Spotlight on Algebra was developed by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). You can visit them on the Internet at http://www.sreb.org/.
