In this semi-introductory course, students will learn a variety of mathematical concepts over the course of 20 sessions. During this time, they will work on the following skills per week (with supplemental practice provided):

Session 1- Ratios (equivalent fractions, learning how to write ratios and solve, and how to find equivalent ratios)
Session 2- Rate (finding the rate and finding ratios on a graph)
Session 3-  Unit Rate (finding the value of one unit)
Session 4- Percents conversion (percent to decimal to fraction)
Session 5- Percents (how to find the percent, part, or whole)
Session 6- Rational # (fraction review)
Session 7- Rational # (decimals)
Session 8- Rational # (what are rational numbers, and how to identify on number line- intro to integers and absolute value)
Session 9- Exponents (powers of ten)
Session 10- Exponents (solving for digits other than ten and powers up to 5)
Session 11-  Exponents (order of operations)
Session 12- Variables (common terms and how to distribute variables to simplify)
Session 13- Variables (Solving for variables when known and solving when not known)
Session 14- Variables (solving both sides for one variable)
Session 15-Data (mean, median, mode, range) 
Session 16-Data (types of data graphs)
Session 17- Geometry (area, perimeter, volume)
Session 18- Geometry (decomposing composite shapes and finding area/volume of 2D shapes)
Session 19- Geometry (identifying 3D shapes and nets)
Session 20- Geometry (surface area and volume of prisms including rectangular and cubes )

At the end of each unit, students will provided access to a virtual quiz through Google Forms for review of concepts as well as a review game from Kahoot to practice prior to the quiz. These quizzes may be used for academic grading purposes or enrichment. In addition, students will receive daily questions in the classroom to practice solving, as well as receive weekly practice to complete independently. 

 During each class, I will introduce the topic, and provide step by step practice to learn how to solve the problem using standard algorithm (students may use other methods previously learned and will be supported in those, however for the purposes of the class for instruction standard algorithm will be utilized).  Several practice problems will be presented, with opportunities to pause the video to permit students a chance to work through and solve as they learn/review the concept of the week. 

Students will also have Khan Academy pages made for them (no previous account needed) and have assignments issued to review content learned for each week (this is not required, but is being provided as an additional enrichment).


Private tutoring is also available upon request for additional support in this concept.
