What's included

1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hours per week
Homework
Optional test that they can test to see if they are making improvements in test taking. These will be tests that are previous tests for high school students with answers.
Assessment
We will do sample questions and quizzes to make sure everyone can get each question type correct for the future. Students will take turns helping to solve problems. They will volunteer for this role and if enough volunteer then they will take turns. Students will be encouraged to respond and allow other students the opportunity to participate without criticism. An open environment of risk is involved for students to know it is okay to get the problem wrong and that is how all of us can learn from our mistakes.

Class Experience

US Grade 10 - 12
What will be taught?   Math strategies for taking the SAT/ACT

What topics will you cover?  Math strategies for computation, graphs and diagrams and word problems.

How is your class structured?  Take a test question, let students analyze the question, try to answer the question, ask them what they did to solve problem and then work the problem through using a strategy to come up with best way to solve the problem and get it right.

How will you teach?  I teach with student involvement and immersion.  Each student will get a chance to interact in the class.

What's your teaching style?  Eclectic.  I like all forms of learning: visual, auditory, sensory, and multimedia.

How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)?
Students will each get a chance to work the problem and solve the problems and also show how they are learning the strategies to solve the problem.  No one is left behind.

Any required experience or knowledge learners need? Basic math skills.

Learners in this ongoing class are able to join and leave at any time.  Each class will be unique and stand on it’s own.  Weekly lessons for this ongoing class will not build upon previous weeks lesson.  Previous test questions as curriculum for class will not be reviewed during subsequent classes within a one year calendar time period. 

Ongoing classes weekly session topics.  One or multiple of each type/theme of problems will be worked through during each class depending on class progress.

Note for Ongoing Class from Outschool:  These classes meet on a regular basis with a repeating weekly schedule. Parents can enroll and withdraw their learners at any point and are charged weekly like a subscription. When a learner subscribes to an ongoing class, the learner will only have access to content in the classroom that’s posted after their subscription begins. If they subscribe mid-week and the class doesn’t meet again until the next week, they’ll see posts the teacher made starting the following Sunday. If they enroll mid-week and there are class meetings remaining within the week, they’ll see content posted beginning the day they subscribe.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding of solving computational, word problems and graphs and diagrams using proven strategies for better test taking.
Students will learn the process of elimination to improve their test taking strategies.
