30 in-class hoursHomework
2-4 hours per week. IN-CLASS ASSIGNMENTS: Problem-solving is a group effort. Learners can earn participation points by responding verbally or using Zoom's Chat Feature during class while we work through examples together. Participation is 25% of the overall class grade. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: A worksheet with a selection of problems is assigned after each lesson. The purpose of these problems is to give learners the opportunity to practice the skills learned and for me to provide specific feedback. It should take no longer than an hour to complete each worksheet. That is a total of 2 hours of homework each week.Letter Grade
GRADES: Grades will be released to the learners via private message. At the end of each 3-week period, a percentage and a letter grade will also be released to the learners via private message. Grades are considered private information and will not be posted in the classroom or accessible by other learners. Learners are encouraged to keep their grades private. GRADING SCALE: To comply with the different grading standards nationwide, the following grading scale will be used: 100% - 90% A (5/5) 89% - 80% B (4/5) 79% - 70% C (3/5) 69% - 60% D (2/5) 59% - 20% F (1/5) GPA Weights A 4.00 B 3.00 C 2.00 D 1.00 F 0.00 As long as the learner participates and shows improvement, it is impossible to fail this class. If a grade is not required for your learner, please notify me ahead of time. Your learner will still receive feedback but a grade will not be sent to them. A grade will, however, be recorded in the event one is needed in the future. Learners who pass this class will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the 12th Week of class.Progress Report
PARTICIPATION: Problem-solving is a group effort. Learners can earn participation points by responding verbally or using Zoom's Chat Feature during class while we work through examples together. Participation is 25% of the overall class grade. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: Each Worksheet will also be manually graded so that the appropriate amount of feedback can be given. These are graded based on completion and accuracy. Independent Practice will count as 75% of the overall grade.Certificate of Completion
Learners who pass this class will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the 12th Week of class.Class Experience

SUMMARY: In this 15-week class, we meet every Monday and Wednesday to discuss, learn, and work through examples. We will cover a full year's curriculum of high school Geometry. This class is perfect for learners obtaining their 2nd-year high school math credit or wanting to experience a higher level of math. This class does contain graded assignments with prompt feedback so learners can identify areas of improvement. At the end of 15 weeks, learners can obtain a certificate of completion. LESSONS: This class is designed to cover 4 units and a total of 55 chapters. Together we work through three to four topics a class. Learners help me complete examples while answering guided questions verbally or by using Zoom's Chat Feature. After each class, a short worksheet is assigned for independent practice. LEARNER EXPECTATIONS: Learners will attend each class, take notes, and interact with me as we complete each topic. At the end of class, I will allow learners to ask questions. At the end of each unit, I will post a learner-driven Q&A document. This document guarantees every question receives a proper answer. Finally, learners will complete each assigned independent practice to the best of their ability by utilizing their notes, my notes, and the class recordings.
Learning Goals
β’ This class satisfies the 10th-Grade Common Core Standards in Mathematics.β’ With a condensed schedule, learners will become acclimated to the structure of a college math class.

THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS: PDF files are shared in the classroom after every lesson. I recommend learners access these class notes to assist them in completing their notes and the independent practice. I ask the learner for their first name on assignments for grading and feedback purposes. Desmos is a free, online graphing calculator that may be used instead of a physical graphing calculator.
EMERGENCIES: Despite our best efforts, emergencies happen and can result in changes to the class schedule. I always plan to have my classes as scheduled. If I have to miss class (loss of power/internet), I ask that learners log into the Zoom meeting and remain in the waiting room for 10 minutes so that Outschool can mark their attendance. There is a one-week gap between all of my classes to add make-up sessions during the same time. If your learner cannot attend a class, please reach out so I can adjust the assignments' due dates. All class recordings are available in the classroom. I expect learners to watch the video lessons for the classes they miss and send a copy of their completed notes to earn participation points.
Supply List
Learners will need the following materials: 1. Something to take notes with (paper and writing utensils, iPad/tablet and notetaking app, etc.) 2. Graphing Calculator (physical or digital) 3. A scanner or device with a camera (To turn in Homework)
