This class is part 2 of 4 all about pre-algebra.  In this class, the learner will gain the building blocks needed to move forward and be prepared for algebra and other math concepts.  We will be talking about ratios, proportions, fraction to decimal conversion, scale drawings,
percent, finding the percent of a number, fraction to percent conversion, percent decrease, discounts and sale price, percent increase, calculating mark-up, simple interest, commission, percents less than 1, profits and royalties, compound interest, percents greater than 100, mean, median, frequency distribution, mode, range, stem-and-leaf plots, histograms, box-and-whisker plots, circle graphs, bar graphs, pictographs, line graphs, probability, odds, combined probabilities, the principle of counting, permutations, combinations, events, and expected value.
I will be teaching the concept using slides and lecture-type format, the learner(s) will practice the concept with me, and then I check for understanding.  I make sure to allow time for questions or more practice for concepts that are more challenging. Each session the learner will be given a practice sheet to complete on their own time.  I will review the practice sheet at the beginning of each session.

Weekly break down of concepts taught:
Week 1: Ratios, proportions, fraction to decimal conversion, scale drawings
Week 2: Percent, finding the percent of a number, fraction to percent conversion
Week 3: Percent decrease, discounts, and sale price, percent increase, calculating mark-up
Week 4: Simple interest, commission, percents less than 1, profits and royalties, compound interest, percents greater than 100
Week 5: Mean, median, frequency distribution, mode, range, stem-and-leaf plots, histograms, box-and-whisker plots
Week 6: Circle graphs, bar graphs, pictographs, line graphs
Week 7: Probability, odds, combined probabilities, the principle of counting
Week 8: Permutations, combinations, events, expected value, and review of previous weeks

This class will be fast paced but will cover many concepts.  If the student were to take all 4 of my pre-algebra courses they would have a full year of pre-algebra completed.  

I also offer classes on many of these concepts individually for a slower more in depth approach as well.
