Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 9
Beginner Level
The class structure is a self-paced course.  Students can interact with the instructor through posts.  The student will review the videos and study notes on the lesson topic.  Student progress will be measured through completion of weekly homework, quizzes, and the final exam.  Homework and quizzes will be graded with comments from the instructor to help students improve where needed.  Please note that the difficulty of the homework and quizzes can be personalized.  Students that need additional difficulty can be provided with more challenging work.  Similarly, students that need additional practice on a skill can receive additional support through assigned practice exercises via instructor-designed worksheets and Khan Academy.

Assessment format will include short answer, problem solving, and graphing.  Students are asked to print the homework, quizzes, and exams to complete.  Then upload for grading by the instructor.  Instructor feedback is one of the most important components of this course and helps to guide the student through each lesson successfully.

Students will receive a link to Google Classroom to receive grades for assignments and obtain quiz and exam answer keys.

Learning Goals

The student will learn how write, graph, and interpret linear equations.
The student will learn how to solve word problems using linear equations.

8 Lessons
over 8 Weeks
Lesson 1:
Plotting and the Coordinate System
 In this session, the student will learn how to identify the location of points on a coordinate graph and find the length of a line segment.  

Exercise - Label ordered pairs, determine distance between points, identify the location of coordinates, and plot points in different quadrants. Applications to plotting geometrical shapes will also be covered in this lesson. 
Lesson 2:
Finding Slope Graphically and With Formulas
 In this session, the student define slope and learn how to calculate slope graphically and with a formula for linear equations. Students will be introduced to direct variation (k).  The student will also learn the relationship of slope (m) with the constant of proportionality (k) and how to identify the direction, magnitude of the slope (m).

Exercise - Define slope and constant of proportionality.  Calculate the slope and constant of proportionality using graphs and with formulas.
