Welcome

My name is Juan Ramirez and I am an Algebra teacher at Otay Ranch High School. Algebra is the first class of the three that you need to graduate (Geometry and Intermediate Algebra are the other two) and to fulfill the requirements for college entrance.

Goals:
The emphasis of the class is to get students to do the following by the end of the semester

To accomplish the goals students will need to be able to

• solve multistep equations and inequalities,
