Have you ever asked your math teacher, “When am I ever going to use this?”, then this class is for you! Algebra 1 in
Manufacturing Processes, Entrepreneurship, and Design (AMPED) will teach students all Missouri Algebra I standards through
relevant, interactive, and fun career and technical education projects. Students will learn Algebra concepts through running a
“for-profit” t-shirt and printing business and from many other hands-on and real-world activities. The development of 21st-century
workplace skills such as attention to detail, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork are also emphasized. Regular
attendance is recommended. This is a double-blocked class where students must be concurrently enrolled in AMPED on
