Algebra 1 - 8th/9th Grade Math Review Class - Camp Class - 4 Times a Week

This is a review class where I'll go over major Algebra 1 - Grade 8th/9th Math topics that was learned in my Algebra 1 Full Year Class. Prerequisites:  students should have already completed my Algebra 1 - 8th/9th Grade Full-Year Ongoing Math Class or be proficient in Algebra 1 math to get through this review class smoothly. This class will meet twice a week. In the first class I will have everyone introduce themselves, then I will tell everyone how the class will operate and what my expectations are. There is optional homework assigned each week. There are no tests in this class but optional homework is highly recommended. 

Please Note: if you are joining the class after the class has started (July 17, 2023), please take a look at the schedule below and make sure you are proficient at the topics before the class you will be joining.  We will not have time to review any materials covered during previous classes as each class is a different topic. Math is built on steps.  If you miss an earlier step, you can stumble in a future topic.   You can join at any time as every week will be a separate topic from previous classes.  
 
You will be charged weekly and can subscribe and unsubscribe at any time. You just need to unsubscribe by Saturday to not get charged for the following week. The subscription renewals are charged every Sunday for the following week. You can take this class every week or drop in on certain topics. This class is a 8th/9th Grade - Algebra 1 Review Math Class.

We will be using a website ‘Classkick’ for our classes. You will not need to sign up for an account. I will provide a link at the beginning of each class. When you click on the link, it will ask you to put in a name. You will only need to put in the students first name so that I can identify their work. Classkick is an interactive site where students can work on their math problems on the screen and at the same time, I (the teacher) will be able to see what they are doing on their end on my own screen. Each class assignment is a PDF that is uploaded into Classkick. We will not be watching any videos or using any reference websites during class. To be Coppa Compliant, the class assignment will only be accessible during our class. Once the class ends, you will no longer have access to the lesson. I will post a PDF of the answers to the problems we do in class in the Outschool Classroom for students who want to review the work. I post the answer keys at the end of each week. Sometimes, we will use Kahoot or Blooket to play games on the topic we are doing in class (if time permits). You will not need to sign up for an account with Kahoot or Blooket. 

This is not a graded class but I will be providing optional homework after each class for those who want/need extra practice. Optional homework assignments will be posted in the Outschool Classroom once a week. I will post the assignments and the answer keys so you can check your work when you are done with the assignments. Although homework is not sent in for grading, please feel free to message me on Outschool Messages at any time with questions about the optional homework or any topics we cover in class so that you don’t fall behind. The optional homework will be in the form of a PDF. You will need to print it, do the work, and check your answers with the provided answer keys. There are no tests in this class. No grades will be provided. Optional homework is highly recommended for you to master the topics learned in class. 

All optional homework assignments, homework answer keys, and classwork answer keys will be posted in the Outschool Classroom at the end of the week. I will provide you with a link to a shared Google Drive folder where all the homework assignments and answer keys will be uploaded to. Since this is an ongoing class, the shared Google Drive links will be different every week. 

I operate by the classic "I teach, do guided practice, then independent practice" with checks for understanding sprinkled throughout. Asking students to explain their responses or how they arrived at their solutions is one of my go-to's to gauge learning. I welcome students to ask questions or for help during and between classes!  
I welcome inquires from parents asking to let them know of their child's progress.
