Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 8
Order of operations, integer operations, solving equations, and logical reasoning are critical skills for mastering algebra and beyond! The enrichment being provided in these activities will support students towards reaching or maintaining a high proficiency level with these skills. I will provide the notes, examples, activities and directions needed to seamlessly follow through each lesson. The student will be encouraged to take notes as they move through the lessons as this will help...

Week 1Lesson 1Order of OperationsStudents will use PEMDAS to simplify expressions.Week 2Lesson 2Integer OperationsStudents will use rules to add, subtract, multiply and divide integers.Week 3Lesson 3One- and two-step equationsStudents will use inverse operations to solve equations.Week 4Lesson 4Logical Reasoning and GraphingStudents will use critical thinking skills to solve problems and practice with graphing.
- Objectives: -using (including exponents) to simplify expressions -using counters, number lines, and/or a set of rules to solve integer operation problems -using inverse operations in order to solve equations -critically thinking through solving problems
I LOVE math, and I LOVE puzzles that require critical thinking! I make it a goal to find creative and interesting ways to deliver instruction while helping students build their math sense. With 25 years of teaching Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2 to students with a variety of skill levels, including 5 years teaching online to students learning from home, I feel uniquely qualified to provide learners with the tools they need to become masters of mathematics!

Assessment
Frequency: includedDetails: The student is welcome to send me answers for the posted activities. Any feedback needed will typically be given within a 24-hour time frame.
Students should have a 3-ring binder or some type of math notebook in order to keep track of their notes. A PDF will be provided on Sundays via the messaging system in Outschool with an outline/notes/directions for all of the activities that should be completed prior to the start of the subsequent lesson.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
