This class satisfies the 9th-Grade Common Core Standards in Mathematics. 

I have a bachelor’s degree in Science in Education from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and 3+ years of teaching experience in secondary Math Education. 

Homework Offered
IN-CLASS ASSIGNMENTS: During each class, learners complete interactive questions included in the lesson using Zoom's Chat Feature or verbally. Learners receive a participation grade for completing these questions.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: After each lesson, a worksheet that aligns with each lesson for independent practice. Depending on the number of lessons, there are 3 worksheets each week. The purpose of these worksheets is to inform my teaching, provide detailed feedback to learners, and track learner progress. Independent Practice should take roughly 30 minutes to an hour after each lesson depending on the learner's current skill level and understanding of each topic. Independent Practice Worksheets are due at the end of the day on Thursday. Learners are encouraged to work on them on the day they are assigned to avoid falling behind. 
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
PARTICIPATION: During each lesson, learners complete interactive questions throughout the class. Learners receive a participation grade for each class they contribute to. Participation will count as 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.

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 8th Week of class.
