**Learners are welcome to join the class any week during the year.** 

Learner Review:

Ms. Vanleer teaches so thoroughly and is very patient and good at explaining things. With her instruction and such a welcoming class atmosphere, my knowledge, comfort, and confidence with math has tremendously grown. I can't recommend her classes enough!!  

------------------

This is a full-curriculum course. Learners can join the class any week. See class description and syllabus for more details about this class and weekly lessons. 

**Lessons 61 - 120 will be offered for the spring semester. (https://outschool.com/classes/saxon-math-87-lessons-61-120-WDAaHKPc?refuid=SkdOOsh3)

As a person who struggled with math as a younger student, I can empathize with and relate to learners as they try to understand new concepts. I display patience with the learners, give them time to respond, and offer encouragement for their efforts. Students should be made to feel comfortable when they are willing to participate in class.

This is a complete academic course covering Lessons 1 - 60 of Saxon Math 8/7. The goal is to cover 3-4 lessons each week. In this live group class, students will meet twice a week to learn and practice the topics in the course. Some topics include fractions, divisibility rules, decimals, metric system, exponents, perimeter and area, prime factorization, measuring angles with a protractor, order of operations, interpreting graphs, GCF and LCM, and scientific notation.

During each class, the new lesson will be introduced to the learners. We will then complete some exercises together. Learners are encouraged to ask questions in class. I will make every effort to involve learners in class participation.

As appropriate, I incorporate review material into the lessons to further solidify the math concepts to the learners.

Students should be familiar with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.

Learners should try to complete some of the practice and review exercises for each lesson.

Students will need the following textbook: Saxon Math 8/7, 3rd Edition.

I also recommend getting the Solutions Manual (Saxon Math 8/7, 3rd Edition, Solutions Manual). It contains step-by-step solutions to every problem in the textbook.

This is a great way for learners and parents to check answers and get a full understanding of how to solve each problem.

Come prepared to listen and learn. I monitor learners' understanding (usually through facial expressions). Open cameras also allow learners to interact and experience a class environment.
