Curso de Geometría - Campamento de Matemáticas de 9.º y 10.º grado de secundaria

NO CLASS on the Weeks of July 15-17 and July 22-24. 

This is a 9th / 10th Grade Geometry course where students can choose which classes to attend without committing to a full semester if you’re paying weekly.  Students need to have taken Algebra 1, learned basics of geometry (properties of polygons, circles, lines and angle relationships)  and possess a solid basic math foundation (e.g. order of operations, fraction and decimal handling, inverse operations, factoring) before taking this class.  It is geared for students entering 9th grade.  It is also be useful for advanced students entering 8th grade and for those who need a refresher of 9th grade math or Geometry.   Students need to have a solid basic math foundation (such as arithmetic, order of operations, fractions) and prior knowledge on the classes they are interested in taking.   

Please Note: if you are joining the class after the class has started, please take a look at the schedule below and make sure you are proficient at the topics before the class you will be joining.  We will not have time to review any materials covered during previous classes as each class is a different topic. Math is built on steps.  If you miss an earlier step, you can stumble in a future topic.   You can join at any time as every week will be a separate topic from previous classes.  So, you can join this class to learn some of the major topics of 9th / 10th grade Geometry math or you can join during a week we are doing a topic you might need a refresher on and you can withdraw at any time when paying weekly. 
 
You will be charged with a one time charge when you sign up or you can pay weekly. You can sign up and withdraw from the class at any time if you are paying weekly. This is a Course (not an ongoing class) so if you need to unsubscribe or pause the class, the option is not available with a Course. You will need to withdraw from the class and sign up again when you are ready to come back to the class. You just need to withdraw by Saturday to not get charged for the following week. The class renewals are charged every Sunday for the following week. You can take this class every week or drop in on certain topics if you are paying weekly. This class covers major topics of 9th / 10th Grade Geometry Math.

We will be using a website ‘Classkick’ for our classes. You will not need to sign up for an account. I will provide a link at the beginning of each class. When you click on the link, it will ask you to put in a name. You will only need to put in the students first name so that I can identify their work. Classkick is an interactive site where students can work on their math problems on the screen and at the same time, I (the teacher) will be able to see what they are doing on their end on my own screen. Each class assignment is a PDF that is uploaded into Classkick. We will not be watching any videos or using any reference websites during class. To be Coppa Compliant, the class assignment will only be accessible during our class. Once the class ends, you will no longer have access to the lesson. I will post a PDF of the answers to the problems we do in class in the Outschool Classroom for students who want to review the work. I post the answer keys at the end of each week. Sometimes, we will use Kahoot or Blooket to play games on the topic we are doing in class (if time permits). You will not need to sign up for an account with Kahoot or Blooket. 
 
This is not a graded class but I will be providing optional homework after each class for those who want/need extra practice. Optional homework assignments will be posted in the Outschool Classroom once a week. I will post the assignments and the answer keys so you can check your work when you are done with the assignments. Although homework is not sent in for grading, please feel free to message me on Outschool Messages at any time with questions about the optional homework or any topics we cover in class so that you don’t fall behind. The optional homework will be in the form of a PDF. You will need to print it, do the work, and check your answers with the provided answer keys. There are no tests in this class. No grades will be provided. Optional homework is highly recommended for you to master the topics learned in class. 

All states and countries have their own requirements so please check your requirements to make sure the topics covered in this class is sufficient. 

All optional homework assignments, homework answer keys, and classwork answer keys will be posted in the Outschool Classroom at the end of the week. I will provide you with a link to a shared Google Drive folder where all the homework assignments and answer keys will be uploaded to. 

I operate by the classic "I teach, do guided practice, then independent practice" with checks for understanding sprinkled throughout. Asking students to explain their responses or how they arrived at their solutions is one of my go-to's to gauge learning. I welcome students to ask questions or for help during and between classes!  

I welcome inquires from parents asking to let them know of their child's progress.

**Please Note: On the weeks that we don’t meet, you do not need to withdraw from the class. Outschool will charge on weeks even if there are no classes scheduled since this is a Course but you will be refunded manually on those days. You will not be charged for weeks where there is not a scheduled days/times. On weeks where there is a holiday where we only meet once that week, a refund will be issued for the day we don’t meet. If you miss a day when there is class, no refund will be issued. You will have access to the the recordings. As for one time payments, the days off are accounted into the one time payments and it is a discounted price when paying in one payment.**
