Math-U-See 代數第二學期

Welcome! From teaching math in a school to online classes, and even teaching my own, I understand how frustrated some students may become when they face mathematical obstacles! I am here for you – and them. I specialize in patiently explaining several different techniques and how to master each algebraic skill. In this course, your learner will feel confident and assured that they have mastered the material.
All of my classes are very interactive. I encourage questions, ask for clarification, and for the students to model the process. My teaching method is -I do, we do, you do. I will shower your learner with praise when the task is accomplished and encouragement when they are struggling with a difficult concept. The goal is to master algebraic skills WITH confidence!

For each class, the format will be as follows:
5 min – Welcome to the classroom and begin with a real-life math problem, just to get their minds eager and ready.
5 min – Review and Homework questions
20 min – Instruction
25 min – Practice (ensuring student feels confident with the procedures)
5 min – Assignment and Good-bye

This course is a follow-up course to Algebra Semester 1.  Therefore students should be familiar with Cartesian Coordinates, Slope-Intercept Formulas, Graphing Inequalities, and Linear Equations. If you have any questions regarding your child's readiness a diagnostic assessment can be available. You can contact me for an assessment.

Week 1: Algebra Foundations and Review 
Week 2: Factor Polynomials and Factoring Trinomials with Coefficients 
Week 3: Factoring Trinomials and Negative Numbers
