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 each 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

These pre-algebraic concepts are necessary not only for Algebra 1, but for most advanced math courses. This class does not have any live meetings. Although this class does not have live meetings, students will interact with myself and the course material. 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 on Flipgrid. Per parent request, I can provide grades for the classwork and assessments if needed for a credit.
