I have enjoyed teaching math for many years now and strive to make this class as enjoyable and pain-free as possible, but with that said the student will definitely need to put in the time each week to complete their homework. It is a twice a week class, Mondays and Wednesdays. I have made videos for the student to watch each week before they come to class, which will provide them with a clear picture of what to expect for the week, not to mention I do a portion of their homework in the videos. 😊 The videos will also help if your family is out of town or the student misses a class. You will need to have Google classroom to view the videos and Marco Polo for one on one communication as needed.
Major Concepts and Skills Covered:
*Fluently adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing positive and negative numbers
*Understanding and simplifying exponents
*Using properties of operations, order of operations, and absolute value
*Expanding understanding of place value
*Evaluating radicals
*Identifying the least common multiple and greatest common factor
Requires Math U See Prealgebra Student Pack (workbook and test book). Students must have a good handle on multiplication, division, and fractions.
Homework: 1-2 hours depending upon their knowledge of the subject
This is a CORE class that meets twice a week for the full year. CORE classes have greater expectations of students, parents, and teachers. Parents are required to attend the mandatory CORE Classes Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 27th at 6:45pm or August 29th at 2:45pm. I’ve been teaching math for over 30 years now and just really enjoy working with the students. I use the Marco Polo app to help students with questions they need help with outside of class time.This curriculum covers: positive and negative numbers, exponents, expanded and exponential notation, roots and radicals, variables, geometric formulas, rations and proportions, polynomials, irrational numbers, square root formula, and more. It is very important that the student has a good understanding of: fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), along with decimals and percents.
Students will be required to watch a weekly math video on Google Classroom before coming to class each Monday.
Parents will be required to sign their students workbook and test book each week.
Requirements:
Good understanding of positive and negative numbers. Solid knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions. Experience with solving for a variable.

Parents are required to attend the mandatory CORE Classes Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 27th at 6:45pm or August 29th at 2:45pm. This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of PreCalculus/Trigonometry and its underlying concepts using the Math-U-See system. The curriculum will include both theory and application. This course will be appropriate for anyone who has successfully completed Algebra 2, and has a solid grasp of exponents, polynomials, variables, equations, and conic sections. Students taking the Pre-calculus course will learn the following skills: trigonometry; radians and polar coordinates; vectors, functions, and composites; logarithms; arithmetic and geometric series.
Requirements:
Students must have the Math-U-See Student Pack for Pre-calculus and a TI-36X Pro calculator ($20). In addition, a pad of graph paper, pencil(s) with eraser, a straightedge or ruler, and a protractor are required. Parents must sign each page of the lesson tests, which are due each Monday. Parents must also sign each page of the three unit tests, which are due on scheduled Mondays throughout the year.
In this weekly gathering of parents and students we will be gleaning inspiration for our projects through stories read aloud each week. Students will be guided through the basics of clay sculpture, pinch pots, coil making and more. This tactile medium will be used to help cultivate fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, attention to detail and storytelling. Parents of 3 & 4 year old students will attend together, 5 year old’s may be dropped off or parents may choose to stay for the class as well. Art work will range from a small guided projects completed in one day to projects that may take two or more sessions to complete. The class will touch on sculptural and functional wares over the course of our 16 weeks together.
Requirements:
Students ages 4 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
We will engage your student’s imagination through read aloud stories and coordinating projects. Alternating between guided projects and ‘free play” clay. Students will be guided through the basics of clay sculpture, pinch pots, coil making, slip and score and more. This tactile medium will be used to help cultivate fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, attention to detail and storytelling. *Three and Four-year-old students need to be accompanied by a parent or sibling age 12 and up, Five year old’s may be dropped off. The class will touch on sculptural and functional wares over the course of our 16 weeks together.
Requirements:
Students ages 4 and under must be accompanied by someone age 12 and up. Supervising attendees may choose to pay the supply fee too if they want to make projects alongside their student.
