Hello and Welcome!👋😊 In this asynchronous class, students can finally learn how to work with negative numbers using proven, ✨easy-to-remember✨ strategies. Knowing how to work with negative numbers is an essential algebra 1 skill. It's also a skill that calculators 🚫cannot🚫 always help with! By the end of this class, you'll learn how to confidently & quickly solve problems such as: 👉 -3 - 8 = ____ 👉 -4 + 16 = ____ 👉 -14 + -10 = ____ 👉 8 ÷ -4 = ____ (scroll all the way to the bottom for these answers!) This is the SAME way I teach my private tutoring clients who are struggling with negative numbers. It takes 1 to 2 sessions for them (up to a $150 value), but here your learner can get that same information taught through pre-recorded lessons from me for a fraction of the cost. Students can pause and re-watch when they would like, and I'm available for any additional comments or questions via message. Enroll now to finally master these negative numbers! 📆 Schedule for the Week*📆 Video Lesson 1 (~11 min) Homework 1 (10 questions) + VIDEO Answer Key where I walk through each problem Video Lesson 2 (~11 min) Homework 2 (10 questions) + VIDEO Answer Key where I walk through each problem 🎯What will each lesson cover?🎯 Lesson 1 - Same Sign Add, Different Sign Subtract This lesson covers identifying the sign of a number and how to combine numbers depending on their signs. By the end of this lesson, you will know exactly how to simplify the above expression. Lesson 2 - Double Signs & Sad Man This lesson covers double signs and multiplying and dividing with negative numbers. By the end of this lesson, you will know how to simplify both of the above expressions. ANSWERS to the example problems above (in the order they were listed): -11 +12 -24 -2

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
The courses I offer center around core math topics in pre-algebra and algebra. I like to focus on the important building blocks students need to master in middle school and early high school in order to succeed in high school and beyond. Some of these topics cover proportionality, equations, inequalities, basic geometry, algebraic expressions, and arithmetic.
I am a certified teacher for grades 4-8 math and have over four years of professional experience teaching math to students ranging from grades 3 to 12. I taught seventh grade math while getting my credentials and taught my first year of seventh grade math at an amazing school. Though I left full-time teaching when I became a mother in 2019, I have continued to pursue my passion for teaching math part-time via various platforms.
My philosophy that drives my teaching is that every student is a unique person who is worthy of my time. I have the patience to work with students who are struggling in math and the ability to push students who are naturally inclined towards math. My goals when working with students are to teach and encourage.
When I'm not teaching/tutoring I can be found snuggling my babies, spending quality time with friends and family, and playing disc golf with my wonderful husband. Reviews
