Are You Ready for Algebra 1? a Review of Pre-Algebra Skills

In this class, I will review the key Pre-Algebra concepts so you can be confident your student does not have gaps in their knowledge before moving to Algebra 1. We will also look ahead to some Algebra I content that you may not have seen before.

Anyone who has watched a movie or read a book twice knows that we often notice things we did not see the first time through. I will give students an overview of Pre-Algebra topics, and show them a big picture view and tying together the concept threads. Some math curriculums teach individual concepts in isolation. But, I teach students to see the patterns and connections in math. Your student will have a firm foundation on which to continue their high school mathematic endeavors.


In this course, we will review the following topics:

1st Meeting: A Fraction Review 

2nd Meeting: Order of Operations 

3rd Meeting: Solving Linear Equations 

4th Meeting: Linear Word Problems

5th Meeting: Graphing Lines

6th Meeting: Exponent Rules

I provide guided notes and practice assignments (homework) for each class. However, homework is optional. I take my lead from parents as you know your child's needs best. Students may turn in homework, or not. I am happy to give individual feedback on homework which is turned in on time. I post homework answers in the classroom the evening before the next class meeting. 

Some parents choose to have their child turn in homework, other parents choose to check their child's homework themselves with the answers I provide. And, some parents do not require their child to complete the homework, or only complete part of the homework. I am happy to customize the homework assignments to meet your child's needs. I am also willing to provide challenge problems for students who are interested.

During each class meeting, time will be devoted to reviewing practice assignments and reviewing skills. Students will have the opportunity to request questions they want me to review in class, and the opportunity to ask questions on assignments. Then, I will led the student through a new lesson using the guided notes. And, I am always available through the Outschool messaging system for students who need help between class meetings. Class recording will be provided for students who are unable to attend class.
