During group activities in this online class, learners will have the opportunity to engage with the teacher and their peers through verbal discussions and collaborative slides. These slides are designed to facilitate thinking and organization, and learners can either use the in-built annotation tools within Zoom or request a link to the Explain Everything board to write and draw directly on the slides. All learner contributions will be monitored by the teacher to ensure they are appropriate, safe, and accurate. A recording of the session will be preserved for learners to review later.

In addition to participating in live, synchronous class sessions, learners in this course will also have access to a variety of asynchronous assignments to complete on their own time. These may include independent practice exercises, written or video materials introducing new information, and preparation assignments to help learners get ready for upcoming class sessions. To provide even more opportunities for practice and reinforcement, learners will also be given access to the Prodigy math platform, which they can use for optional extra practice and skill-building.

Attendance is a crucial part of success in this class, so regular and consistent attendance is expected. While learners will not be removed from the class for missing group activity sessions, it is their responsibility to catch up on missed work by watching the recorded session and completing any associated assignments. The teacher will be available to provide assistance if learners have any difficulty with the material. By prioritizing attendance and staying on top of their work, learners can ensure they get the most out of the class and make the most progress in their learning.

The yearlong Arithmetic and Applications class sequence, of which this is the first module, is intended to serve as a foundation for the Junior High General Math module sequence starting with Area and Surface Area. The target audience is students who are entering junior high school and have a basic understanding of math concepts, but may need to strengthen certain skills. As well as sixth graders who want to maintain a slower pace of study and older learners who need the basics, this class is suitable for advanced or eager fourth and fifth graders. Students who have already completed and excelled in a comprehensive elementary math curriculum may find this class too easy.
