Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 10
Students will learn from instruction on the whiteboard and through working example problems.  Class time will be used to go over homework from the previous day, answer any questions and cover the day's lesson. Students will have time at the end of the class to work problems and ask any additional questions.  Topics covered include:

There are 2 grading options for this class:

Option 1: Students will not submit assignments and will not receive a grade. This option is perfect for those just looking for additional support and wishing to grade their own papers or skip HW and test altogether. 

Option 2:  I will grade Classwork/Homework and test.  Students will submit all assignments to Google Classroom.  Assignments must be submitted in a pdf.  Assigments submitted to Outschool will not be graded.  Late Assignments will not be graded.  Assignments not submitted in pdf form will not be graded.
