2-4 hours per week. Students will have math practice problems each week either on a worksheet or the online platform MyOpenMath. This practice is imperative to mastery of the concepts. They must also post questions and respond to their peers. They will also post a video explanation of a practice problem approximately every other week.Assessment
There will be short assessments most weeks to review the concepts. There will also be one project in the graphing unit. At the end of the course there will be a final assessment. Per parent request, I can provide grades for the classwork and assessments if needed for a credit.Grading
Grades are offered per parent request. Students must submit work through the classroom page. A grade document will be shared with the student and parent so they can see how they are progressing through the course.Class Experience
US Grade 8 - 11
In this self-paced class, students will continue to build upon the basics of algebra. This course will be a continuation of the algebraic concepts learned in my All About Algebra 1 class (https://outschool.com/classes/all-about-algebra-1-semester-course-ONRSdzpB#usT6Fyr9ph), but students who have prior knowledge of Algebra 1 are welcome to join. This class does not have any live meetings. Although this class does not have live meetings, students will interact with myself and the material each week. I will post 1-2 instructional videos each week. Homework and practice problems will be a mixture of worksheets and problems on the website MyOpenMath. Students will have assignments each week and will post any questions that they have which I will answer with an additional video. They will also video and give an explanation of a problem from the homework each week. Some weeks they will create a problem involving the concept of the week to share. Per parent request, I can provide grades for the classwork and assessments if needed for a credit.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to solve and graph a variety of equations. Students will learn about imaginary numbers and solve expressions. Students will utilize trigonometric functions to solve for unknown values.
