Everyday Basic and Consumer Math

How many students have asked why do they have to study math? In my experience as a teacher, I would imagine the answer to be many.

This course called Everyday Basic Math Success with Teacher Bob is a series of 12 sessions on a variety of math skills that we will all need to know from budgeting to searching for the best prices. This ongoing set of math lessons repeats every 12 weeks, so sign up for your first class at any point in the series.

During our weekly sessions, teaching and examples will be given with the help of a whiteboard. There will be questions that Teacher Bob will help his students to complete (guided and independent practice of the skills taught). We will use real-life examples in our weekly lessons. Questions and discussions about what we are looking at are welcome.

Weekly worksheets will be available to print off before class.
