Algebra I (using Illustrative Math + Khan Academy)

This guide adapts Illustrative Mathematics Algebra I into a format that’s easier for homeschool families to use. Most lessons include Khan Academy videos and practice problems, aligned to the Illustrative Mathematics, and for lessons that Khan Academy doesn’t yet cover, I’ve included links to my Canva templates. My templates generally use the information in the IM teachers guides, with occasional tweaks to make them more homeschooling friendly. I also recommend creating a free teacher account with Illustrative Mathematics to access the teacher guides, answer keys, paper assessments, and other printables.

There are slideshows I haven’t created yet. Everything through week 15 is complete, and I’ll continue updating the guide as the remaining lessons are finished.
