This class is interactive, where I will break concepts down and check for understanding throughout the class. I scaffold and adjust my pacing to suit the needs of the students. I will use visuals, mnemonics, real-world examples, guided notes, and discussion to ensure a deep understanding. Student participation is expected.

I use the “I do, We do, You do” model to encourage retention and build confidence. After teaching a concept, I will explain a real-world example, guide the students in solving a problem, and then let them solve one independently to ensure they understand the concept. This is not intended to teach a full grade level for the first time; this is a review course to enhance the student’s math skills. We will review all foundational math learned in middle school to give the student a strong start to high school math. This is also great for students who are currently in high school, but could use a refresher on the foundational math. Students need to have completed 8th grade, be in 8th grade, or be planning to skip 8th grade math. This is also a great course for a student who is planning on skipping 7th or 8th grade. The following is our tentative schedule:

*The schedule might change to fit the pace of the learners. At the end of this schedule, we will loop back to the beginning for any learners who joined after Week 1. 

I do not drill. If students want extra practice, I can recommend books, websites, and provide more exercises. The focus of this class is to help students better understand the middle school math curriculum so that they can go into high school math with confidence.
