Pre-Algebra prepares learners for high school algebra and beyond by introducing integers, fractions, square roots, step equations, linear equations and decimals. Students learn how to solve basic equations using variables. The graphic shown with this course is one I created. It can help you visualize how the topics of Pre-Algebra naturally fall into three categories. I have three ongoing weekly courses for each of these three categories - the operations part, the fractions part, and the...
- At the end of this semester portion of Pre-Algebra, students will be able to say, " I know how to choose which graph to represent my data. I know how to square and cube a number and how to work with exponents and radicals." "I can work with scientific notation and the coordinate plane." "I can convert from fractions to ratios to percents and decimals and back again."
After my career in industry as a chemical engineer and management consultant, I got my certification to teach math and business in the public schools for middle and high schools. I received additional certified training for gifted and talented learners. I taught math for sixteen years and I've been a personal SAT tutor for eight years. My students have typically raised their scores between 100 and 300 points. As a chemical engineer and project management professional in the world of business consulting and information technology consulting, I've completed over five levels of college calculus and applied mathematics and used these math and computing skills throughout my career. The students I have taught had varying learning abilities that ranged from one with pronounced learning disabilities to gifted and talented. When it came to PSAT's and SAT's, each of them with impressive improvements in their scores. It can be done! I used a focused approach. We honed in on trouble areas, really understood the underlying math concept, and drilled for mastery. Rest assured, students finish my classes and turn to their parents and say, "I finally get it!" Here are some reviews from classes here on Outschool to show what I mean... From CT - Love this teacher! My kids are requesting more of her classes. Thank you teacher Kitty! Energetic and patient teacher. I accidentally signed up my younger son with his older brother and she made the class interesting for both of them and they asked to join another class of teacher Kitty. Thank you ! From William- Wonderful class. The class speed was just right, and our daughter was able to follow along relatively well. She benefited greatly from this opportunity to reinforce her understanding the solving quadratic equations. Thanks!!! From Dillon- This the second linear equation class my son took from Teacher Kitty. My son felt he learned a lot on this subject and took very useful notes, and gained a lot more confidence than when he just started learning it. From Mary - I am really pleased that our first lesson at Outschool was such a fantastic one. Kitty is really good and my son loved that he could understand her clearly (initially worried as he is not American or in America ) I observed that she really took her time to explain terminologies and she gave the class more time to really grasp the lesson. My shy son eventually came out of his shell and contributed to the class. We are looking forward to more classes with her.

Frecuencia: incluidoDetalles: Assessments are given for each lesson which occur weekly.
Paper, pencil and a great attitude and willingness to encourage fellow learners and participate. Calculators are not needed.
Students should have the first part of Pre-Algebra mastered, including prime factorization, using operations on negative numbers, understanding arithmetic properties, and managing fractions.
Teacher creates her own interactive graphical slides including games to build proficiency. Teacher may provide additional videos of her creation to supplement what students are struggling with in class. Khan Academy and Openstax will be used to assist with homework.
