Homework
1 hour per week. Homework will be to complete the activities of each lesson prior to beginning the next lesson.
Assessment
Students will have the option of submitting work to the classroom for feedback. For certain lessons, a decoder puzzle will be attached, and students will know that they are on the right track by correctly solving the puzzle.

Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 7
I will provide students with the notes, examples, activities and directions needed to seamlessly follow through each lesson.  Students will be encouraged to take notes as they move through the lessons as this will help them understand the examples and complete the puzzles, and I will respond to any questions that may be posted via Outschool messages. There will be 9 lessons total, with each lesson being posted on Sundays by 12 noon (Eastern Standard Time) for families that opt for the weekly lessons.  The goal will be for students to try and complete the entire lesson prior to the release of the next lesson.  

By the conclusion of this course, students should have a stronger foundation of Pre-Algebra skills that will be used in higher level mathematics.

Learning Goals

In this course, students will:

-use PEMDAS to simplify expressions
-evaluate expressions involving variables
-practice solving problems that have negative solutions
-evaluate exponents

Supply List
It would be nice for students to have a three-ring binder in order to keep track of assignments and notes each week.  I will provide a PDF via Outschool messages that will explain to students what needs to be for the week (objective, discussion question, notes and assessment).  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).
