Life Is Better With Math: Learning Pre-Algebra Like a Boss!

In this course, students will:

-develop problem solving skills in order to solver real-world problems
-develop number sense with integers and rational numbers
-expand their knowledge of exponents and square roots to simplify expressions
-use inverse operations to solve one-step, two-step, and multi-step equations and inequalities
-use the Least Common Multiple to add rational numbers and solve equations involving rational numbers
-use proportions to find the percent of a number
-use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing sides of a right triangles
-combine like terms in order to perform operations with polynomials

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 practice and review the video for the lesson as needed.  Extra supports and challenge material can be uploaded to the classroom as needed.

Feedback will be provided while students are completing examples in class with me.  Parents are also welcome to contact me via Outschool messages with any specific questions about performance.

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