Course Goals
Do you ever read a word problem and realize you have no clue what they are asking? That's okay! Word problems are challenging for everyone! In this course, we will practice strategies to help us break down, set-up, and solve a math problem!
Next up, check out the COURSE REQUIREMENTS!
Course Requirements
To be successful in this course, you will need to:
Check your email weekly on Tuesdays to find each week's assignment (there's also a button at the top of the eLearn page to find each week's assignments)
Find time to do the readings, videos, Khan exercises, and writing assignments (about 1-2 hours per week)
Respond to feedback provided by the instructor
Practice skills on Khan Academy - remember that Joey will recommend topics to practice in Khan, so find those skills and practice them each week!
A note about tablets and mobile phones...
Since we will be doing a lot of writing and Khan activities in this course, especially in Google Docs, be sure to find time to use a laptop or desktop. Writing essays on a phone is hard; using a laptop or desktop makes it easier to write and edit!
So be sure to switch over to a laptop or desktop now if you aren't already!
