預代數 - 解決問題的方法（完整課程）

This is a high-involvement and discussion-based class. Students will be required to participate actively in each class. If there are printouts for the day, they will be posted at least 24 hours in advance. If students cannot access a printer, materials will be viewable on the screen. 
This math course aligns with a typical pre algebra math curriculum. However, it is designed also to prepare students to take Algebra 1 as the next course. Students should have a good understanding of the following concepts: fractions, decimals, percentages, and integer operations. Understand ratios, proportions, rates, writing, solving, and graphing one step equations involving variables. 

This is a problem based learning course, which means students will explore mathematics using complex problems and activities rather than just listening to lectures. Students are highly encouraged to come to class with cameras and microphones on for the best class experience. 


After each class, students will be given a homework assignment and written and/or video notes that correlate with the lesson. If students complete and turn in the homework, I will give them individual feedback and keep track of their progress. It is highly recommended that students complete the homework each week. 
Students enrolled for an entire semester will receive an individual transcript at the end of the semester with their strengths and weaknesses.
