US Grade 10 - 12
Learners will complete the first half of Saxon Math Advanced Mathematics in this 18-week-long semester course. This course will have assignments posted once a week. There are no live meetings in a flex class. *Learners must have their own copy of the required books to take this course. The materials are listed in the "Supply List" section. The publisher has expressly stated that their books may not be shown on camera, as Outschool records all classes. Teachers are not allowed to show the books on camera per the publisher. Optional homework drop-in class as needed: https://outschool.com/classes/math-homework-drop-in-Q2uTCAma#ushxZxpxFU Pacing: The teacher will post each Monday morning, which will include the week's teaching videos, lessons, and assignments. If in a private session, the learner has the option to complete the semester with faster pacing. Learners are expected to participate by replying to each post from the teacher each week. The learner can reply by posting the answers to assigned homework, asking questions, or replying to discussion questions. Learners are not required to submit homework, it is optional to submit homework. Learners are expected to contribute to the teacher's posts and conversations. Participation in this regard is mandatory (to reply to each teacher's post to some degree). Teacher Videos: The teacher provides videos for the "Examples" which show the new material and the examples in the "Examples". These videos will help explain how to complete the work. Assignments (Required Curriculum Work): Aim to complete one lesson's worth of activities per day. **Problem Set: The learner should complete all the problems from the "Problem Set". The learner does not need to submit the answers to this material, however, if the learner has questions, they may submit problems for review or questions. **Tests: Learners will refrain from posting the answers in the classroom, however, they can message the teacher directly. **Learners have the option to submit tests for grading. Beyond the Curriculum Work: Learners are required to participate in flex classes. Learners do not have to complete all the extras but must complete at least one and comment on the weekly post. **ixl.com: When possible, matching ixl lessons will be posted to go with each book lesson. These are optional activities and not required to complete. Please ask the teacher if you would like an included username and password to take advantage of the subscription. **Khan Academy: When possible, matching Khan Academy lessons will be posted to go with each book lesson. These are optional activities and not required to complete. The class code will be provided for the learners upon enrollment. **Online Activity: Learners will complete the individual activities with each lesson. Each activity will be posted in the teacher's post. This may be something such as a whiteboard activity, manipulatives, online flashcards, or more. For example, https://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/quadrilaterals/parallelograms/interactive-parallelogram.php . Learners will take a photo of the activity and post it in the teacher's post as a comment. The discussion will then be based on comparing the different posted photos - are the shapes similar, congruent, etc. **Real-Life Activity: Learners will respond to questions pertaining to real life with a comment on the teacher's post. If the learner knows how to associate the lesson material with a real-life topic (such as at a job, or shopping, etc), the learner should discuss this in the lesson post. Class topics can be found in the table of contents found here: https://www.christianbook.com/saxon-advanced-math-home-study-kit/9781565771277/pd/791273 - I am not affiliated with this website nor am I suggesting it, I am only showing the table of contents.
