Welcome to Saxon Maths Algebra 1 - Part 1/2, Lessons 1 - 59

Together we will tackle the first half of Saxon Math Algebra 1! 

Math doesn’t need to be scary - and together we will overcome every challenge that your leaner faces. I am happy to meet on a one-off basis, in preparation for an exam, or to tackle a specific issue, or as an ongoing regularly scheduled class. 

This class is perfect for parents who would like to outsource math instruction, or do not necessarily feel comfortable teaching the material. I will meet your learner where they are academically and guide them through the material at a pace that is comfortable to them. 


APPROACH.
My approach to teaching maths is keeping the material fun and interactive. I don’t like to lecture - instead preferring to engage the students and make them invested in the material. 

SUPPLIES. 
I have digital copies of the Algebra 1 Textbook, Worksheets, Tests and Answer Guide, so I am prepared to start at any point in the book, and guide your learner the rest of the way! Just bring your copy of the book, pencil, and paper to class! 


EXPERIENCE. 
I have taught maths for over a decade, and am a Chartered Accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland. I also have two decades of experience in the homeschool / home educated community. 


SAXON MATHS ALGEBRA 1.
Topics covered include signed numbers, exponents and roots; absolute value; equations and inequalities; scientific notations; unit conversions; polynomials; graphs; factoring; quadratic equations; direct and inverse variations; exponential growth; statistics; and probability.

Algebra 1 is recommended for Year 10 students, or highly motivated Year 9 students. The student should be sufficiently grounded in pre-algebra.

NEED HELP? 
Not sure where to start, or need help assessing an appropriate level for your child? I am happy to help and can provide a personalised assessment of your child’s preparedness for any level of math. I am also able to help with the transition from public / private school to a home educated setting and maths instruction.
