Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

This is an Algebra 2 high school math  boot camp will have learners well prepared to excel at Algebra 2 for the coming school year.

This course uses Nearpod for drills and assessments. 

Learners will learn about quadratic equations and graphs, factoring, graphing, complex and imaginary number, and laws of radical and exponents.

I will teach each concept thoroughly and take the time to address questions and make sure I assess each learner and whether they are tracking with the topics.  I will be available to help students who need additional support. 

The Outschool classes which provide the instruction and tutoring for this course are listed below.

Session 1 Functions, Interval Notation, Domain and Range
Session 2 Parent Functions and Transformations
Session 3 Simplify Radicals 
Session 4 Laws of Exponents and Multiplying Polynomials
Session 5 Factoring with GCF and Factoring Trinomials
Session 6 Advanced Trinomial Factoring
Session 7 Forms of a Quadratic & Zero Product Rule
Session 8 Complex Numbers & Completing the Square
Session 9 Pulling it together with Quadratic Graphs

Frequently Asked Questions:

What should the learner expect during a session?
I will take a practice study guide for the assessment and walk through part of all of it depending on how quickly the class wants to move.

Is there homework?
Homework is required and is consistent in every lesson.  Nearpod links will be given that direct the learner to an interactive guided practice of skills that will ready them for assessment.

Are there assessments?
There is a minimum of one assessment per week.  The overall course grade, if one is needed by the parent, is the average of all of these assessments. Assessments are done through Nearpod. Nearpod does not send the parents test reports and learners are accountable to print their score sheet and deliver these to the parents with the week number marked.  There is a reminder of this built into each assessment and connected to a small extra credit earned by the student for their agreement to accept that accountability. That system has worked well with previous sections of this course and students build responsibility that way.

What if my student misses class- are there make-up classes?
Students who are not able to make class have access to the recordings.

What happens if no one shows up?
That usually doesn’t happen, especially if the minimum enrollment of the class has been met.  That’s good news because group dynamics and interaction between learners and the teacher are critical to a successful class.  If learners do not arrive in class according to Outschool's standard for a viable participation (10 minutes), I will leave the classroom, according to Outschool's policy.
