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 advanced part.

This course covers the third trimester of Pre-Algebra or

The model for this course is assessment based and moves rapidly based on the student being "a lifter" in that the student is expected to carry the ball between classes with adherence to homework and assigned assessments. 

For this course, here is a week by week agenda:

September:  
Level 1:   Algebra Review
Week 1- Inequalities, Absolute Value, and Exponents
Week 2-Exponents and Notations
Week 3 - Rational Expression Operations & Complex #’s


October:  
Level 2: Equations and Inequalities Review
Week 1: Linear Equations
Week 2: Quadratics
Week 3: Radical Equations and Variations


November: 
Quadratic Inequalities, 
Rational, Radical, 
Absolute Value Inequalities



December: 
Week 1: Graphing
Week 2: Functions
Week 3: Quadratic Graphs and Composite Functions


December
Level 5: Log and Exponential Functions
Week 1: Inverse Functions & Exponentials
Week 2: Log Properties
Week 3: Log Functions


It's important to understand that I teach to mastery. I will teach each concept thoroughly and take the time to address questions and make sure I assess each learner and whether they are tracking with the topics.  I will be available to help students who need additional support.  I will, on occasion, support a student who is struggling and has already tried slowing down the recording of the class and working towards a better understanding.  If all of efforts on mine and the student's parts hasn't brought the student to mastery, I will suggest supplementary classes to help the student grasp the content. I want to make sure no one gets left behind.

Grades (upon request by parents):
I will have a homework assignment for each class.  They won't be long, so I expect all of these to be completed and submitted once a week by Sunday midnight for credit towards the homework portion of the learner's grade should the family decide they are wanting the option of a grade.  If a student continues to not participate in grade producing deliverables, I will communicate to the parents and if the assignments are not turned in, eventually the option for a grade will be forfeited.

I will have assessments each week.

Ahead of the lesson, I will introduce what the students will be learning and start with what they know.  I'll send a short homework assignment which the learners must turn in (take a picture and upload).  These homework will be the launch of the lesson. I'll teach the concept for 10 minutes and then we will take turns with I do, We do, You do. 

I will then review all concepts learned and check in with the students on their learning. I will finish with an intro to the next lesson as well as the homework assignment for week:

Some class policies:

A - Students who are not able to make class have access to the recordings.

B - I adjust each lesson according to the needs to the learners, so if most students need additional time on a topic I'll take that time. Making sure we accomplish coverage and mastery of all topics will require me to stay on schedule, so if additional time is needed, I will suggest students to sign up for my available supplemental Algebra classes and tutoring sessions.  I have a strong reputation of moving students successfully through the topics to mastery so I don't anticipate that supplementary classes are needed, but I want families to be aware that these are available and effective tools for their learners' success.

C - The group dynamics and interaction between leaners and the teacher are critical to a successful class.  If learners do not arrive in class according to Outschool's standard for a viable participation (10 minutes), I will leave the classroom, according to Outschool's policy.
