This is an on-going 39-week class that will review of the skills taught in 6th grade math. Each week we will explore a 6th grade math topic through a combination of lecture, discussion, projects, worksheets. Students are encouraged to ask question on that week’s topic and may even come with their own questions on the topic. After each class, a link to a quiz will be sent out. The quiz will be created on the site called knowmia, but you do not need to purchase anything to take the quiz. At any time, parent can request a progress report based off the quizzes. This class is not full curriculum but a support or resources to a curriculum. If you are looking for a full curriculum please check out Discovering pre-algebra. Below is a list of skills that will be the theme of the class on that day. Because the format of this class is on-going you can stop your subscription the weekend before topics your learner does not need and rejoin for the weeks they do need.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Before coming to Outschool, I worked at a community college for 4 years. During that time, my job consisted of instructing math classes and working with students below college level math and English. During this time, I saw a lot of students who were not prepared for the discovery and problem-solving element of math in college. Most students struggle with middle school math concepts in real-world applications. Without this foundation of math fluency and problem-solving student struggle with harder math concepts. As my child starts middle math the urgency of making sure she has a proper foundation of math became real. I decided to homeschool and joined this community of homeschoolers.
I believe all students can succeed when they are taught in a style they understand. I would describe my style as Charlotte Mason or discovery, but I feel students need a mix of drill or classical method for foundational math concepts. If you believe that this style is how your learner understands, then I encourage you to sign up for my course.
