サマーキャンプ数学: 初等代数/8年生数学の準備

As a person who struggled with math as a student, I can empathize with and relate to learners as they try to learn new and difficult concepts. I display patience with the learners, give them time to respond, and offer encouragement for their efforts.

In this ongoing class, learners will meet twice a week to review and practice some core introductory Pre-Algebra topics. Some topics include evaluating algebraic expressions, solving equations, proportion word problems and the Pythagorean Theorem. 

During each class, the new lesson will then be introduced. I will complete practice problems with the learners. They are encouraged to ask questions in class. I will make every effort to involve all learners in class participation.  As appropriate, I incorporate review material into the lessons to further solidify the math concepts to the learners.

After each class, practice exercises completed in class will be posted in the Outschool classroom.

Learners will also receive a practice worksheet. Learners should complete the practice exercises from each worksheet at home. A worksheet answer key will also be provided. This is a great way for learners and parents to check for understanding.

Learners should be familiar with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.

Learners may join the class any week. (See class syllabus for weekly topics.)

This class meets twice a week for 4 weeks. (Each summer session is identical.)

Come prepared to listen and learn. I monitor learners' understanding (usually through facial expressions), so having the camera open is very helpful and adds to the class environment.
