Ejercicios de matemáticas y preparación para exámenes de séptimo, octavo y noveno grado: Álgebra, geometría, matemáticas avanzadas

Hello and welcome to my 7th, 8th, & 9th Grade Math Drills & Strategies: Algebra Geometry Advanced Math  course, where we practice each week how to think like a Math expert! Each class we will explore new concepts, re-visit new variations of old concepts, and tie them all to tested problems from newly-released exams. This set of meetings is designed to bring the best exam prep skills to those students in most need of testing assistance. 

*Each meeting is designed as stand-alone lesson, so that a student can enroll at any point during the year and begin to immediately receive the instruction that they need to be academically successful as they move through each grade level. The core skills throughout this entire course are reasoning, logic, and rationality - as the College Board has specifically requested that these skills be tested above all else when determining what types of problems will be written into the exams. 

*Each enrolled student in this course will receive the most up-to-date of materials to use as a main reference point for all of the work completed throughout this course. This Ongoing subscription-based course is designed to be an ever-continuous stream of new material and practice problems, designed to reinforce Common Core Standards of content knowledge and critical thinking skills.  

*Each meeting is designed to explain in full details a handful of concepts that are widely-tested . These concepts are then tied directly to practice problems and drills from newly-released exams and educational material. This method allows for a student in any one of the three grade-levels (and at any point during the duration of the course) to enroll and immediately begin receiving the academic instruction that they need.
