What's included

16 live meetings
13 hrs 20 mins in-class hours
Homework
2-4 hours per week. In order to learn new skills and gain mastery, practice is required. I recommend students complete the lessons each week. Ideally, the students should own the solutions manual and learn to check their own work. Work should be reviewed by the parent according to the parent's instructional goals.
Mastery Evaluation
A weekly quiz will be given. If the quiz is sent to me, I will grade it.
Assessment
Students will be given a weekly quiz and the answer key. This will give them accountability and feedback. I will provide informal feedback to parents. lf desired, parent's can register for individual tutoring sessions. As part of these sessions, I will grade tests. These sessions will be a separate cost.

Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Intermediate - Advanced Level
In Algebra 2, homeschooling students and parents realize they need help. As a homeschooling parent of about 20 years and a current math teacher (both online and at a learning center), I understand this need. 

I am passionate about providing instruction to help students master math topics.  I taught Saxon math to my own kids and have 30 years of experience teaching Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, and Precalculus in the classroom and tutoring. This includes 8 years of online instruction.  This experience has helped me learn a variety of ways to make math more easily understood.  I am an enthusiastic instructor and I like to use available technology to make online learner better.  

In class, I will provide instruction on the daily topics and offer opportunities for students to participate and ask questions.  In addition, students can post in the classroom questions in advance, and I will either answer in class or in a response in the classroom.  Students will be encouraged to complete example problems in class so that they can get immediate feedback.  I will make every effort to ensure that all students have a positive learning experience.  We will regularly play Kahoot games to reinforce their learning.  Students will receive a weekly quiz which WILL be graded by me.

I recommend that student's leave their cameras on so that I can get visual cues on their understanding.  This also helps them to interact and have a full educational experience.  

Students will practice SAT and ACT type questions as well as learn to use Desmos, which is the calculator on the digital SAT. This class is the first 32 lessons. The next class will cover the next 32 lessons. In this way you can complete the book.

This class is regularly scheduled for Monday and Wednesday, but second week we will not meet on Labor Day. We will meet on Friday that week instead. If Friday is a problem for anyone, I will provide a recording and give a partial refund. 

Class 1 Lessons A/B
Class 2 Lessons 1/2
Class 3 Lessons 3/4
Class 4 Lessons 5/6

This pattern of two lessons a day will continue throughout the year.

Learning Goals

In the words of John Saxon, "Algebra is not difficult.  Algebra is just different."  Students need time to learn new things.  After class, each student should leave class with a foundational understanding of the daily topics.
Students will be prepared to complete practice problems on their own.  I recommend that they complete the practice set (labeled with letters) as soon as possible. Then they should complete the numbered practice problems.
