DESCRIPTION
This course will teach students various topics in math throughout the year while also encouraging students to learn different problem solving techniques. Content taught will vary per grade level and ranges from learning topics like addition and subtraction to topics like analyzing rates of change on graphs. Each class is split into two portions: a collaborative and independent portion. The first collaborative portion is where the instructor will teach students about that day's math lesson and have students engage in solving problems together. The second portion will consist of students working individually on the assignment for today on IXL with help from the instructor when needed.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
