If you click on the class link, you will find the available times for the current semester. I also offer an asynchronous (self-paced) version of this class.
Description
This class is taught on Outschool. This class is normally taken after High School Algebra 1.
Students can choose to come to class, listen, participate and they will learn.
⭐⭐ The very best way to learn will be to practice the concepts.
⭐⭐This year I am piloting online practice with DeltaMath. Paper assignments will be available for those that would rather have that. When you sign up, you will be given a DeltaMath account that you can choose to practice with.
I have found that everyone learns in different ways and sometimes we need a mixture of Desmos, DeltaMath and paper assignments to really learn and enjoy the content.Assessments will be given at minimum once a unit. If you would like a grade, I am happy to give it to along with a report card. If you would rather a Pass/Fail class, please let me know and I will let you know the individualized criteria. I will also look for informal and individualized ways to assess knowledge.In our Trigonometry unit in Semester 2, students will need a scientific calculator.
I am a big fan of the TI-84 CE graphing calcululator but that is probably more than you need for this class. A TI 30iiXS or equivalent scientific calculator would be just fine. If you need help outside of the classroom, I'm happy to answer questions via message, video or if I have time after class I can stay a little longer.Curriculum can be printed out. If you are a textbook lover, I am happy to give you the names of some of my favorites and you can use those to help understand the material. I also have an open source Textbook that the author has given me permission to share in class. I will share that as a resource.I enjoy teaching this class and really hope that you as a student will enjoy learning different concepts, or at the very least have a better understanding of some of the concepts. Please refer to the syllabus for the progression of topics.
