Assessment
An assessment will be provided with each lesson (optional). The student can submit the assessment- I will provide feedback on the work (typically within 24 hours) as well as respond to questions if needed.

Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
The student will be provided with a mini-tutorial via self-created videos reviewing one skill a week for the math topics listed in the syllabus.  I will also provide examples that students can practice throughout the week (answer keys will be provided), and an (optional) assessment will be provided weekly to determine mastery of that week's skill. 

The goal will be for students to try and complete the entire lesson prior to starting the subsequent lesson.  The suggested completion time is within 8 weeks; however, time can be extended as needed.  

Upon completing all activities, the student should have a stronger foundation of math skills common to the field of architecture.

Learning Goals

GCF to simplify fractions/LCM to add and subtract fractions
scale factors to enlarge and reduce shapes

Supply List
Students should have a three-ring binder in order to keep track of assignments and notes each week.  A calculator and graph paper would be nice items to have, however, when possible, I will suggest websites that may have the tools that a learner may need (example: online calculators).
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
I will use Quizizz activities to reinforce skills reviewed- the problems will be provided in PDF form and attached to the lesson.
