In this class, learners will review and strengthen their pre-algebra skills. Arithmetic skills, such as operations with fractions and decimals, will be reviewed in the lessons as those types of numbers are used within problems. This class is designed to ease the transition into an Algebra 1 class. Each topic on the syllabus will be covered in a video lesson. After watching the lesson, students are invited to apply the skills to a set of practice problems. A solution video to each set of practice problems will also be posted. This is a self-paced class with no live class meetings, allowing students to work at a time that is convenient to them.

I am a certified secondary mathematics teacher with experience teaching all math courses from pre-algebra through calculus. I have also tutored individual students ranging from elementary school through college for many years. So, I know the common misconceptions students develop on math concepts and structure my lessons to help students avoid those mistakes.Reviews
