Topics in this class will tailor to learners' needs. Students and parents are invited to contact me on enrolment and/or weekly to inform me of any particular algebra topics which need particular attention. Throughout the month we will cover: Week 1: Collecting like terms, expanding brackets Week 2: Indices and exponents, sequences Week 3: Substitution, multiplying and dividing algebra Week 4: Solving Equations, Coordinate Points (Week 5): Games on all aforementioned topics I invite learners to share what they already know, what they find tricky and how they see the problem. I like to walk through concrete examples then move students on to work independently and rapidly gain confidence. Games, puzzles and quizzes are purposeful tasks which I like to include as well as looking at misconceptions and exam-style questions. Sharing our own homework tasks, mistakes and wins is also very useful in deepening learners' understanding so students are encouraged to share as much as possible with myself and each other the specifics of what they are working on, any clips and links to useful resources and using our discussions to help each other.

Supply List
Occasionally pupils may be asked to bring along equipment such as a calculator, pencils, crayons, a ruler, or items to count out or measure, such as dried food items or leaves. Parents will be notified well in advance of this and should it be difficult to source an item in time, a contingency plan will be made to provide for the learner ensuring inclusion and no singling out occurs. Pupils may benefit from a mini whiteboard and markers to share their ideas with others and myself in class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
