Math Your Way

I am offering this class specifically in response to a request for "Introductory math for older unschooled kids".  Therefore, I will start by determining what math the student or students do know.  We will build on what they do know, and then add knowledge in math gradually.  I am also offering this as a one-time class to start, but with the potential of making it a recurring class if desired.  We will start with addition, then, if the students would like to continue, proceed to subtraction, and then multiplication and division.  My classes are structured to be a mix of lecture and question-and-answer times.  In this class, specifically, if the student or students do not understand a concept, I would expect and request that they say so, so that we can discuss it further.  My teaching style is fun but firm - I like a good joke, but I also expect to get things done.  For this class, no background knowledge is required.
