Course Structure: Students will build confidence by in-class practice and refresh their comprehension of topics by watching video tutorials provided in pre-recorded videos followed by weekly live problem-solving sessions.
Who should enroll: Students should be 9th grade or above. The well-prepared applicant is familiar with the fundamentals of algebra and has the maturity to diligently complete the assigned homework and seek additional help when needed. Learning how to learn mathematics is stressed in this course, so students who are motivated to improve should apply.
Technical needs: To access course materials students will need broadband, high speed Internet and their own e-mail account. This course will be run on the learning platform called Canvas. Canvas is a user-friendly, powerful platform where parents can be linked to their students and access student material, see grades, and contact the instructor at any time.
