📝 20 weeks of pre-algebra lessons to prepare your child for Algebra 1

📝 A printable Pre-Algebra Curriculum Workbook to use alongside the video lessons (printing required)

📝 Each week contains 2 pre-recorded video lessons, 2 self-grading homework assignments, and 2 video answer keys for the homework assignments

📝 + Live online group tutoring 1x per week via Zoom

During the 50-minute live online group tutoring, students are led by a certified teacher to ask questions in real time and are given extra practice problems to reinforce the concepts covered in the video lessons from that week. Students are expected to have completed the video lessons prior to attending live group tutoring.

All content for this class is posted to Google Classroom and is our central hub for the class. Your unique Google Classroom code is sent to the email used when registering one week prior to the first day of class.

The weekly commitment for this class is approximately 2 hours. This includes two pre-recorded video lessons (~15min each), 2 homework assignments (30min), and one live 50-min group tutoring session via Zoom.

Mastering the core pre-algebra math concepts is one goal of this class. Years of teaching experience, learning strategies, and plenty of work-together examples are packed into every video lesson. The other goal of this class is to help students practice the life skills of independent learning, personal responsibility, and online collaboration with peers. This class is truly a training ground for future adulthood!

I work alongside parents to prepare their child for the future. This is accomplished through setting class expectations, being prompt to reply to questions, giving encouragement, and normalizing mistakes. Mistakes will be made, and that is okay! It is an eye-opening part of the learning process.

Expectations include showing up to class prepared and on time, participating in class, and completing assignments on time.

My role is to give students the gift of hard work and accomplishment through math. This math program sits upstream from a young adult who has proven to themselves that they can do hard things. This is the goal. This is Pre-Algebra With Purpose.

Our job as parents is to train up our children in the way they should go. Part of this training is giving them the opportunity to foster independence, and this course is designed to do just that. It's a good opportunity to loosen the reins and allow your child to practice independent learning.

I keep parents in the loop with periodic updates and am very responsive to emails. I'm looking forward to being a part of your child's math journey, and I hope to see him or her in class!
