2-4 hours per week. Homework is assigned every week in either the form of a PDF worksheet or a Khan Academy assignment. If the homework is in PDF form, learners can submit it to me as an attachment through messages in the form of an image, scan, PDF, or DOC.Assessment
To receive a letter grade or a letter of completion, learners are required to complete all assignments, participate in class, and take a cumulative course review test.Grading
includedClass Experience
US Grade 8
This course will include live meetings, as well as guides and worksheets provided by the instructor. Students are expected to attend each weekly class (or watch recordings if they are unable to attend), and submit their homework by sending an image, scan, or PDF. As this is a 16-week course, students should practice and complete homework outside of class throughout the week to keep up with the fast-paced curriculum. Parents are encouraged to ensure that their children are completing their work outside of class. Throughout the course, students will use both Khan Academy and outside worksheets. Unit tests may be issued on Khan Academy, and a final course review will be administered to assess the students' retention of information and readiness for 8th grade. The instructor will provide recorded videos via Google Classroom for students to reference, but there will be no communication on this platform. Interaction will only be done through Outschool and live meetings. Before taking this class, students should have a solid understanding of elementary math concepts such as multiplication, fractions, decimals, division, addition, and subtraction. If students are struggling in any area, I also offer one-on-one tutoring at an additional cost. Students are encouraged to message the instructor with any questions or concerns, but it is important to be on time for live meetings as the instructor will leave after 10 minutes if no one joins. The weekly schedule will cover topics such as negative numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, rates, proportional relationships, expressions, equations, inequalities, geometry, and statistics and probability. Week 15 and 16 will be reserved for review and extra time if needed. Weekly Schedule: Week #1 - Numbers and operations Week #2 - Numbers and operations Week #3 - Solving equations with one unknown Week #4 - Solving equations with one unknown Week #5 - Linear equations and functions Week #6 - Linear equations and functions Week #7 - Systems of equations Week #8 - Systems of equations Week #9 - Geometry Week #10 - Geometry Week #11- Geometric transformations Week #12- Geometric transformations Week #13- Data and modeling Week #14- Data and modeling Week #15- Course Review Week #16 - Final Exam

Lesson 3:
Solving Equations with One Unknown
During this period, students focus on developing problem-solving strategies for equations involving a single variable. They learn to apply inverse operations, isolate variables, and use algebraic manipulations to solve equations efficiently. Through practice exercises and real-world applications, students deepen their understanding of algebraic concepts and strengthen their problem-solving skills. Lesson 4:
