7th grade Math/PreAlgebra - Singapore Dimensions Math 7A-- Small Group

This is 7th grade 18 week curriculum that is aligned with US national standards for the second of the school year. It would be great as a review for 6th-7th grade students who need a little extra help or advanced 6th grade students who want to be challenged. This is a traditional math class taught similar to class at school. Great for homeschoolers too! Contact me if you need a specific time scheduled and I can try to accommodate you!

Paper and pencil are the only required materials. Slides will be taught in textbook fashion with interactive drill/practice features when possible. This class could have between 1-4 students, but can also be offered as a guaranteed 1:1 individual class if you prefer upon availability. Please contact me for the pricing and information if you would like a customized class created for you. In group settings, all learners will have many opportunities to practice each skill individually and corrections will be made to ensure comprehension. Participation will ensure understanding. In 1:1 settings, pacing is customized for your student ensuring the best understanding and retention of skills.

In addition to the live meetings, if requested, an independent practice activity will be posted after each meeting so that students can practice learned skills independently. This is from the corresponding workbook. These outside of class activities are optional but encouraged as part of the class experience.

The progression of this class feeds into the next class which covers Book 7B of the Grade 7 Singapore Dimensions textbook. The completion of Singapore Dimensions 6,7 and 8 cover PreAlgebra and Algebra 1 according to the publisher.
