Middle School Math: Pre-Algebra (7th & 8th Grade) | With Kahoot!

In this class, students will learn two topics per week. The material will be taught traditionally by introducing the students to the topic, practicing together, and utilizing breakout rooms to allow students to work in pairs to practice working on the topic themselves. Slides will be used to present each topic. Kahoot and Blooket will also be used to reinforce each topic further. These games are timed. Please make sure that your student is okay with timed games. Some students don't like it, and some do! Optional homework will be assigned and sent in the classroom. Homework will be sent at the beginning of every week and answer keys will be sent at the end of the week. This class is very structured to ensure that all subject matter is covered during class to ensure that students get to ask questions if they need clarification. We also like to laugh and have fun in class, as long as time permits!

Please read the full description! 

---> Pre-Algebra does review earlier middle school math. This is to ensure students have a solid foundation when starting Algebra 1. It is essentially a review and introduction to Algebra 1 topics. This class is for students who had trouble in 6th-grade math and are not quite ready to jump into Algebra 1.

---> This class is subscription-based and you will be charged on a weekly basis. On weeks that we don't have class, you do not have to unsubscribe. You will only be charged on weeks that class is scheduled.

---> If you choose to start with the first topic, this class will go over all of the most important Pre-Algebra topics your student needs.

---> Each topic will be individual, and you can join or unsubscribe at any time. You can also pick and learn the topics individually if you choose to.

The class will be structured as follows:

5 minutes - Warm-up
15 minutes - Introducing the topic and showing examples
10 minutes - Working through example problems together 
10 minutes - Sending students to breakout rooms to practice together
10 minutes - Ending game or activity and goodbyes

Units included in the class are the following:

*Arithmetic Properties
*Factors and Multiples
*Reading and Interpreting Data
*Measurement
*Fractions
*Decimals
*Negative Numbers and Coordinate Plane
*Ratios, Rates, and Proportions
*Equations, Expressions, and Inequalities
*Exponents, Radicals, and Scientific Notation
