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

I am happy to announce this 10-class Pre-Algebra course*, which will allow students to either be introduced or stay in practice with the concepts needed to build up their algebraic foundation.

To make maximum use of our time, instruction will be delivered synchronously via power point demonstrations, and asynchronously using self-created instructional videos, and providing materials such as notes and games/activities to further engage, motivate and support learners!  I will be able to assess progress through our live interaction in class as well as through completion/submission of weekly assignments.  Students will be strongly encouraged to participate during the lesson either using their microphones or the chat box- this will allow me the opportunity to provide feedback and any additional supports that may be needed.  Class sizes will be kept small, so that students can receive the personalized instruction they need to be successful!

Using a standard Pre-Algebra textbook, along with numerous resources I have used in my 25 years of teaching, I will provide lessons on the following topics:

Class 1:  Order of Operations 
Class 2:  Operations with Integers
Class 3:  Solving One-Step Equations and Inequalities 
Class 4:  Rational Numbers involving Addition and Subtraction
Class 5:  Rational Numbers involving Multiplication and Division
Class 6:  Solving Two-Step and Multi-Step Equations and Inequalities
Class 7:  Percent Proportions
Class 8:  Probability and Statistics
Class 9:  Applying Algebra to Geometry (finding missing angle measure and lengths of sides of right triangles)
Class 10: Square Roots, Pythagorean Theorem


This course would be ideal for students who have a basic knowledge of whole number operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing) and are making a transition from elementary school level math to math on the middle school level.  In addition, this class would also be appropriate for students taking Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 who may have gaps in their learning and need the review of skills in order to strengthen their knowledge base and close those gaps.

If an emergency causes me to miss a live session class, notification will be sent via Outschool messages.  The lesson will be videotaped, and I will provide students with the link in order to watch the lesson on their own.  

*If this class does not reach the minimum of 3 learners I may need to cancel.  HOWEVER, I do have a 12-week FLEX version for this course, covering the same material (Hitting the Highlights- Pre-Algebra) that I will recommend and send the link upon cancelling.
