-apply their knowledge to real-world problems

This course is taught by a math education professor, math tutor, textbook and curriculum author and editor, and former high school math teacher. The instructor is a contributing author for multiple algebra textbooks.

Students will be expected to spend 2-4 hours per week on this course. Learners will watch videos, play games and answer questions in Nearpod, complete discovery projects, and may be asked to make videos explaining concepts.
