What comes after Algebra?

ADVICE FROM A FORMER STUDENT:To prepare for algebra, you have to accept that there is homework every night. From the beginning of the class, just set your daily schedule to include a block for Algebra

homework.

In some classes, homework can be a burden, but in Algebra, it is an opportunity. An opportunity to practice, an opportunity to get better. On harder topics and units, homework can help you understand the material better.
