This is a twice-a-week class that will help students to learn and practice the various aspects of pre-algebra and beginning algebra. Learners will work with solving unknown numbers (e.g. solving for x), ratios and proportions, whole numbers, integers, fractions, percentages, and decimals. The four operations of math (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) are also covered. Also included are number lines, single, double and triple digit numbers, the four operations with fractions, and conversions (e.g. fractions to decimals and/or percentages). In each lesson, there will be practice exercises, word problems, and related videos. The word problems can include various topics such as school, food, travel, and sports. Towards the end of the class, students will be given an opportunity to say what they learned. Here is the schedule of the six meetings for the course: Lesson 1 - Whole numbers and integers Lesson 2 - Operations with positive and negative numbers Lesson 3 - Fractions Lesson 4 - Ratios and proportions Lesson 5 - Solving unknown variables Lesson 6 - Review

I utilize videoconferencing, audio, videos, whiteboards, and various e-learning techniques for young learners, as well as adult learners. Other areas covered in my courses include algebra, geometry, physics, HTML, and instructional design. students from kindergarten to the 12th grade. Each class is interactive, engaging, thought-provoking, and fun!
I have an MS in Instructional Design and Technology, with 10+ years experience. I have written and published three technical books on Amazon. In November 2018, I received my TEFL certification. My goal has been to not only develop courseware but to also experience teaching. I believe teaching is the core of effective instructional design. My work has included diverse instructional projects helping different learners acquire needed skills and knowledge.
In my spare time, I watch and analyze basketball, partake in social matters and advocacy, exercise, write books and articles, do landscape paintings, and work on interior and exterior housework.Reviews
