Learner Review:

Ms. Vanleer teaches so thoroughly and is very patient and good at explaining things. With her instruction and such a welcoming class atmosphere, my knowledge, comfort, and confidence with math has tremendously grown. I can't recommend her classes enough!!

**Learners are welcome to join the class any week during the year.**

This is a full-curriculum course. Learners can join the class any week. See class description and syllabus for more details about this class and weekly lessons. 

**Glencoe Math Algebra 1 (Second Semester) will be offered for the spring semester. https://outschool.com/classes/glencoe-math-algebra-1-2nd-semester-oYD79ywW?refuid=SkdOOsh3

As a person who struggled with math as a younger student, I can empathize with and relate to learners as they try to understand new concepts. I display patience with the learners, give them time to respond, and offer encouragement for their efforts. Students should be made to feel comfortable when they are willing to participate in class.

This is a complete academic course covering lessons in the first half of Algebra 1. The goal is to cover 2-3 lessons each week. In this live group class, learners will meet twice a week to learn and practice topics in the first half of Algebra 1. Some topics include order of operations, solving equations with variables on both sides, graphing linear equations, solving multi-step inequalities and system of equations.

During each class, the new lesson will be introduced to the learners. We will then complete some exercises together. Learners are encouraged to ask questions in class. I will make every effort to involve learners in class participation.

As appropriate, I incorporate review material into the lessons to further solidify the math concepts to the learners.

Students should be familiar with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.

Students will need the following textbook: Glencoe Algebra 1, Student Edition (ISBN-10: 0078884802 or ISBN-13: 978-0078884801) **Many used copies of the textbook can be found online.

Answers to the odd questions are found in the back of the book. This is a great way for learners and parents to check answers.

Options of Places to Purchase Textbook:

I searched online for a few places to purchase the texbook (used). I am not affiliated with any of these sites.

Come prepared to listen and learn. I monitor learners' understanding (usually through facial expressions). Open cameras also allow learners to interact and experience a class environment.
