Life happens, and sometimes life in the homeschool family causes our children to get behind in math. The next thing we know, our child is in high school. What do we do? Do we continue to buy and use elementary level workbooks that have colorful pictures and expect our 15 year old to use them? Or buy an Algebra 1 curriculum and struggle just to get started because he does not have a math foundation to even begin? No! Enroll your child in E=mc2 Pre-Algebra TODAY and let me help your child get caught up!
The Pre-Algebra class is designed for the student that is behind in math and is in high school. We start the course off literally learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and long division. We progress to fractions and decimals and before the year is half way over, the student is calculating how much interest is earned when an investment is compounded quarterly for five years.
The first half of the year, the student is not allowed to use a calculator. This is because we are building math muscles. Do not worry if he does not know his multiplication tables. He will learn them through use of the tables. The tables are the calculator for the first semester. Once the student understands why a problem is solved using specific order of operations, then we introduce the calculator; but only when the student is proficient at addition and subtraction of mixed numbers, multiplication of fractions and decimals, and long division.
Once your student successfully passes this course with a 75% or higher, he or she will be ready for either high school Algebra 1 or for College Algebra depending on which track he or she selected.
Here are the topics covered in Pre-Algebra:
Chapter 1: Whole Numbers
Chapter 2: Fractions: Multiplication & Division
Chapter 3: Fractions and Mixed Numerals
Chapter 4: Decimal Notation
Chapter 5: Ratio and Proportion
Chapter 6: Percent Notation
Chapter 7: Data, Graphs and Statistics
Chapter 8: Measurements
Chapter 9: Geometry
Chapter 10: Intro to Real Numbers & Algebraic Expressions
Chapter 11: Solving Equations & Inequalities
Remember, you are only enrolling him in the class, not the academy.
So, if you are happy homeschooling and you don't want to change your status...no problem!
If you are enrolled in a private school and you don't want to change schools...you don't have to change!
This is a course...a class...that you add to your existing school program. A class that you do not have to teach but a class that will give your student a solid math foundation!
Enroll before August 1, 2018 and you will receive $100.00 off of the regular tuition so that is 9 - 11 months of instruction for ONLY $199.99 tuition!
Some partial scholarships are available. Inquire here about scholarships.
