What's included

Class Experience

Course Description: There will be NO live meetings for this class. The material will be posted weekly in Module Format and you can view it during the week at your convenience.  Each week for 6 weeks students will be guided through a variety of polynomial math concepts with videos that I have chosen, along with slide-show notes, flash cards, activities, assignments and exit quizzes.  Students should use a white board, paper and pencil or a tablet  to take notes while watching the videos.  Time will be given during note taking to complete practice problems. Homework will consist of responding to questions posted, by me, in our Outschool Classroom page, as well as at least 20 practice problems that must be completed by the due dats. Also students are required to comment on at least one other person's post weekly.
