Summer Math Review: Solving Equations Mini Camp
Welcome future Algebra 1/Algebra 2 learners! Though it may not seem like it, solving equations is a vital skill for high school (and college) success. In this 4-week mini camp, we meet twice a week to review/refine this essential skill.

SUMMARY: Available to learners entering Algebra 1/Algebra 2, this 4-week mini camp meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays to review/refine the skill of solving equations. Solving equations is a skill that will give learners success in their Mathematics and Science classes both at the high school and college level. CONCEPTS: This mini camp focuses on three major concepts. During the first week, we will work on situation involving Linear Equations, such as solving for one variable, rearranging equations, and transitioning between Slope-Intercept and Point-Slope Form. In week two, our focus shifts to Systems of Linear Equations. Weeks three and four are reserved for solving Quadratic Equations. LESSONS: During each lesson, I will guide learners on how to solve the lesson's equations as we work on relevant problems together. After each lesson, my notes will be shared to the classroom for learners to reference in the future.

PAYMENT OPTIONS: This class offers both Upfront payments and Weekly payments. The Upfront price is $120, which is $15 a lesson. The Weekly price is $37.50 a week, which is $18.75 a lesson (the current Outschool recommended rate for enrichment classes).
REFUND POLICY: This class has a standard refund policy: "Refund within 24 hours of payment until your next meeting or lesson access begins."
SCHEDULE: This class takes the week of July 4th off as a mid-class break. As a result, the class is scheduled for 5 calendar weeks.
EMERGENCIES: Despite our best efforts, emergencies do happen and can result in changes to the class schedule. I always plan to have my classes as they are scheduled. In the event that I have an emergency (loss of power/internet), I ask that learners log into the Zoom meeting and remain in the meeting for 10 minutes so that Outschool can mark their attendance. There is a one-week gap between my classes for the purpose of adding make-up sessions during the same time. In the event that your learner cannot attend a class, please reach out so I can plan accordingly. Recordings of the meetings will be shared with the classroom. Learners are expected to watch the video lessons for the classes they miss.
Supply List
Learners will need note-taking materials and a calculator.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
