Live Class Session
Students are encouraged to actively participate during live classes. Collaboration makes learning both effective and fun. Students will work together, write on the board, play online games, and watch video clips to reinforce concepts.
Students may either speak during class discussions or privately message answers to the teacher. The classroom environment is supportive and comfortable, and mistakes are welcomed as part of the learning process. If a student misses a live class, they should watch the recording promptly.
Weekly Homework
Students will be assigned four homework assignments each week through Schoology. Assignments may include multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank problems, instructional videos, and online practice games.
Homework should be completed over a four-day period and finished before the next live class. It is recommended that students complete one assignment per day so they can practice math every day. Homework is designed to review concepts taught in class and should not feel stressful.
