Let's Do This! Learning Pre-Algebra With Ms. Holland, Algebra & Right Triangles

Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(1)

Completed by 3 learners

In this multi-day class we will use algebraic concepts, like solving equations and simplifying expressions, to find the missing measurements in right triangles. This is a good introduction to skills that are used in geometry as well!

**UPDATE** The section put on the schedule for March 24 - May 5 was to accommodate the needs for one of my students.  Any learners who can join us for that unusual section are welcome; however, other sections of this class will be taught once a week as stated in the description.



I'm so excited to be able to offer this "Let's Do This" series of classes!  

*Once students have a firm grasp on the basics of math (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing) it's time to kick it up a notch! ...

Students will learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem and trigonometric ratios to find missing measures of right triangles.  We will:

-find square roots and squares of numbers
-solve equations to find missing measurements
-learn about applying trig ratios to find the missing measurement of a right triangle

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics as well as a Master's Degree in Education.  With 20 years of experience teaching in the classroom coupled with 5 years of experience teaching online to students with varying abilities and needs, I feel extremely qualified to deliver this instruction to learners via Outschool.  My love and dedication for Pre-Algebra stems from the knowledge that this is such a critical time for students to make the connections of elementary-level mathematics to higher-level thinking that will be key for success in courses such as Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry or Pre-Calculus (just to name a few).

No homework will be assigned, however, students will be encouraged to take notes and review the video as needed.  Extra examples/supports can be uploaded to the classroom as needed.

Students should have a three-ring binder in order to keep track of assignments and notes each week. A calculator and graph paper would be nice items to have, however, when possible, I will suggest websites that may have the tools that a learner may need (example: online calculators).

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I will provide feedback to students during class time.  Additional assessments can be provided as appropriate or upon request.

40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
