to the contentHomework
1 hour per week. Homework will be to complete the activities of each lesson prior to beginning the next lesson.Assessment
The student will have the option of submitting work to the classroom for feedback (typically given within 24 hours). For certain lessons, a decoder puzzle will be attached, so the student can check their own work.Class Experience
US Grade 4 - 7
I will provide the notes, examples, activities and directions needed to seamlessly follow through each lesson. The student 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 opting for the weekly lessons. The goal will be to try and complete the entire lesson prior to the release of the next lesson (ensuring completion within 9 weeks). By the conclusion of this course, the student should have a stronger foundation of Pre-Algebra skills that will be used in higher level mathematics.
Learning Goals
In this class, the student will:
-use mental math to solve puzzles
-use inverse operations to solve equations and inequalities
-add, subtract, multiply and divide with negative integers
-graph solutions to inequalities

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).
