The Review Before Geometry In this class students will review the skills needed to be successful in high school geometry. We will do this by practicing skills learned in algebra one and prealgebra. We will also put skills together by looking a weekly inquiry-based questions. This class is meant to prepare students for Investigating Geometry parts 1-5. It will meet 3 days a week for four weeks. Materials needed: Graph paper Ruler Graphing calculator Schedule (subject to change) Week one: Line relationships, types of polygons, parallel and perpendicular lines Week two: Operations with polynomials and area formulas Week three: Equation solving, distance, midpoint Week four: Exponents, volume, and surface area skills that will be taught: Types of lines types of angles relationships of lines and angles types of triangles basic characteristics of triangles Types of polygons basic characteristics of polygons equation solving polynomials Area, volume, and surface area distance and midpoint formulas exponents shapes on a coordinate plane Students should have prior knowledge of the skills above; this is meant to be a review. In addition to the skills above students should also have a grasp of fractions, decimals, percent’s, proportions, and reading tables and graphs. All materials for this course will be provided. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask! From August of 2014 till June 2018, I worked as an adjunct math instructor and the program coordinator of the learning lab at Southern WV Community and Technical College. As the program coordinator of the learning labs, I saw a lot of student who had been taught to memorize math instead of discover math. My experience not only as a math instructor, but as a radio engineer and data analysts has led me to the belief that math is best learned through skill building, discussion, and discovery.

I decided that I wanted to work with students starting in Pre-algebra, Algebra one, and Geometry. Currently I teach the following classes: (Make sure to scroll to the end to find out about office hours)
Pre-Algebra Year one:
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part one
In this class we will discover the organization and purpose of order of operations. How to perform order of operations with different types of rational numbers (exponents, square roots, decimals, fractions, integers, absolute value).
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part two
In this class we will discover proportional thinking and how it applies to different ideas in math (unit rates, unit conversions problems, discounts, tax, gratuity, markup’s, markdown’s, late fees, similar figures). We will also look at simple interest.
Discovering Pre-algebra Part three
In this class we will discover statistics and how to collect (Mean, median, mode, mid-range), display (box plots, stem and leaf, histograms, circle graph, and more), and interpret data (Venn diagram, tree diagram, Probability, and odds).
Pre-Algebra Year two
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part four
In this class we will discover the basics of Algebra (combining like terms, one and two step equations, one variable inequalities, absolute value equations, basics of exponents and radicals, scientific notation)
Discovering Pre-Algebra part five
In this class we will discover basic geometry skills for 2-d and 3-d shapes.
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part six
In this class we will discover graphing and linear equations.
Algebra one:
Discovering Algebra one: Part 1
Discovering Expression, Equations, Inequalities, linear equations and mathematical reasoning.
Discovering Algebra One Part 2
Shifting and reflecting Linear equations, Function families, domain and range, systems of equations and inequalities.
Discovering Algebra One Part 3
Discover the rules and properties of exponents and radicals. How to apply the Pythagorean Theorem and is converse to real life situation.
Discovering Algebra One Part 4
In the class you will work with polynomials, factoring and quadratic equations.
I love math and I hope that your learner finds my love for math infectious!
******* On Thursday, Friday and Saturday I have another job (well I babysit my grand babies) if you email during one of these days I may not be able to get back to you until Sunday or Monday.
