UNIT QUIZZES & PROGRESS TRACKING
Progress tracking is essential in this course. It helps monitor your child's learning journey, identify areas for improvement, and guide our focus. Upon successful completion of this program, all Math 8 Alberta Programs of Studies competencies will be met. Our quizzes are open book and open resource, reflecting real-world scenarios where information is accessible. The emphasis is on demonstrating a thought process on paper, not just arriving at the correct answer. This approach builds problem-solving skills and ensures a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.

Neurodivergency Specializations and Accommodations
This program is geared toward learners of all types.
Due to the multisensory nature of the methodology (ex. giving clear step by step instructions verbally, kinesthetically and visually, exploring the "why" behind a process, making connections to nature and society, manipulating virtual and physical objects) this program is well suited for students with neurodiversities such as ADHD, Anxiety, and Math Anxiety.
Having worked for many years both one on one and in small groups, I am experienced at recognizing when a student needs instruction a different way and am happy to accommodate. Most students I have worked with over the years have had some level of ADHD or Anxiety.
Mental Health is #1 priority in my programs. No learning is possible when we are dysregulated.
Having a tough day and trying to get through math is just too much? Let's take a break. Let's try to regulate and find the next right step, together.
