Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 8
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive coverage of the concepts in a Pre-Algebra 1 course. This is Part 4, the final section, and will focus on the areas of Distance, Angle, Statistics, Probability, Surface Area and Volume. Students will apply previous mathematical experiences to solve real world problems. Every class will follow a similar outline. All classes will begin with a short warm up. This could be skills that they may have previously learned before taking this course,...
- By the end of this section, students will improve their understanding of Pre-Algebra Skills in order to get them prepared for Algebra I. They will be able to identify the relationships of parallel and intersecting lines, identify properties of congruent triangles, and find the area of polygons, irregular figures, and circles. They will also be able to describe three dimensional figures, find volume and surface area of three dimensional figures, and and examine properties of similar solids. Lastly, they will have the ability to find and use central measures of tendency and variation, display and interpret data, and find probabilities of simple events and independent and dependent events.

Homework
Frequency: available upon requestFeedback: available upon requestDetails: Homework will be a review of the concepts given in class. It will be given at the end of each class and will be expected to be completed by the next class. If the student turns it in at least an hour before class, it will be graded and returned before class starts. Review will happen in the classroom if many students didn't understand the concept and a reteach needs to happen or there is a specific question.Assessment
Frequency: available upon requestDetails: At the middle and end of each chapter there will be a review of the concepts learned and an assessment. Homework will also be graded and sent back to the learner for review.Grading
Frequency: available upon requestDetails:
Most materials will be provided by the instructor. This will include worksheets and assignments needed to review. Students will need access to a printer to print notes and assignments. A basic calculator is needed (TI-30x). If students have access to a smart phone or tablet they can use a calculator app similar to Desmos or the website Desmos.com. Students should also have blank paper (lined or unlined) for taking notes and writing examples, graph paper for the graphing sections. A whiteboard and dry erase markers would also be beneficial for interactive reviews.
Please note, this class is the 4th class in a series of classes. If you take this course, you should have taken the first 3 courses or already have significant pre-algebra knowledge. Third Party Tools: This class has the occasional use of Nearpod for review and assessments/quizzes during class and Kahoot for a fun review during class. YouTube video links that can can be viewed at home if the family chooses may be posted in the classroom for extra support on more challenging topics. Please note: if there isn't anyone in attendance, there will not be a class recording. I will wait in the class for the first ten minutes. If no one arrives after that, I will leave. I will post notes of what was to be discussed during class.
