Grade 8 Math - Full Course (Self-Paced Class)

📆How is this class structured?
I will post new instructional materials each week. The duration of each video is 7-10 min long. Students are expected to watch the video provided and answer the quiz that follows the instruction. Additional homework, practice, and vocabulary cards are also provided. 

🌸Can I earn credit for this class?
Students who complete the full unit (and their assignments) can submit this documentation and apply for credit at their local school. Many schools also offer an option to test out of this class and place into other higher math units.

🌸I struggle in math, can I join this class? 
Absolutely! Remediating students in math is one of my specialties. 

🎓 About the instructor
I come to you with over 15 years of experience in STEM education. I am a certified educator in 6 different States. I hold a Bachelor's Degree of Science with distinguished honors. In addition, I hold a Masters Degree Science Education and Doctorate of Philosophy in Teaching Learning and Culture with a specialization in Science and Mathematics Education. You never stop learning! 
I became a teacher by choice. Teaching young minds has been one of the best things that has happened to me. I love to learn as much as I love to teach!

 📆Class assignments
Each lesson is followed by an assignment that will help  students to reinforce the concepts learned during class. Assignments due for the week are posted on the class announcement at the beginning of each week. All assignments are submitted electronically. Students receive feedback within 24 hrs of each submission. 

👏🏻Assessments
Summative assessments will be optional and available to students. The goal is to provide students with exposure to what a standardized assessment looks like without adding the anxiety that comes with testing. Student achievement will be measured formatively in the form of discussions, and assignments.

🌸Additional Resources
You need two things for this class: A notebook and a pencil. Dr. V. will provide you with access to readings, slide decks, vocabulary lists, and practice problems after each class.
