I have taught with cubes for the last 3 years. I have extensive experience in middle school classrooms teaching courses through Algebra 1. I am certified to teach gifted students K-12 and held a previous middle level math certificate (grades 6-9). I love helping kids see the connection between academic topics and their other interests!
With the exception of the last class, students may need to spend up to an hour outside of class finishing the project started each class.
3x3 cube with standards colors PDF of additional resources will be available in the classroom.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
3 hours 30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
We will use notation diagrams from youcandothecube.com
