US Grade 8 - 11
This class just covers factoring. It is recommended for anyone who is struggling with factoring whether they are in middle-school, high-school, college, or a parent who wants to be able to help their child out with their home work. I will be up loading other courses that will build on this one. This is a self paced course. I provide 12 homework assignments, but they are suggestions and will not be collected. They are up to you to do to make sure you understand the topics that are covered. All assignments will be gone over the class after they were assigned.
