Students will be provided with a mini-tutorial via self-created videos reviewing one skill a week for the 8th grade math topics listed in the syllabus.  I will provide also provide examples that students can practice throughout the week (answer keys will be provided), and an assessment will be provided weekly to determine mastery of that week's skill. A variety of activities will also be included in the lessons- some examples include using math emoji puzzles to strengthen skills with solving equations, decoder puzzles to review skills with integer operations, and using 24 cards to practice order of operations. 

Although we will not be meeting live, I will provide students with the notes, examples, activities and directions needed to seamlessly follow through each lesson.  Students will be encouraged to take notes as they move through the lessons as this will help them understand the examples and complete the puzzles, and I will respond to any questions that may be posted via Outschool messages. There will be twelve lessons total, with each lesson being posted on Sundays by 12 noon (Eastern Standard Time) for families that opt for weekly lessons.  The goal will be for students to try and complete the entire lesson prior to the release of the next lesson.  


By the conclusion of this course, students should have a better understanding of how to solve algebra-related problems, and how to think critically to solve problems.

This is the third of a series of "Hitting the Highlights" classes.  Upon successful completion of this course, please consider moving your learner through the remaining classes:  (Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and Algebra 2)
