Working with Units Crash Course
- 5th session
Have you ever been confused by an array of different units all within the same problem? Then this series is for you. We will go through Rate Conversion, Appropriate Units, and Word Problems with these units, the three sections of Working with Units according to Khan Academy. In each content session, we will review each unit and go through practice problems, making space for for any questions that learners might have.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Schoolhouse.world?
Schoolhouse.world is a free, peer-to-peer tutoring platform by Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy. In addition to the Khan Academy crash courses, Schoolhouse offers 1-on-1 homework help in high school math,small-group bootcamps in standardized test prep, Summer Camp and more!
Are these free?
Yes! We are a non-profit organization, and all tutors are volunteers.
Are there crash courses beyond Algebra 1 and Pre-Calculus?
Because this offering is new, we're starting with just two courses. However, we hope to expand across all high school math courses down the line!
How long is each crash course?
Each series is typically two weeks long, with two main sessions each week and one catchup session. If you find the topics easy, you can get ahead and finish the final unit test early.
Is there homework?
Nope, all the magic happens in the live sessions! Of course, you can choose to review the Khan Academy unit materials if you want additional practice.
What can I expect from a crash course session?
Sessions will typically have 3-5 students, led by a volunteer peer tutor. In each session, your tutor will walk you through key concepts, then lead the group to work on practice problems together. If you have any questions, your tutor will be right there to clear things up!
Who are the tutors?
Series are run by trained, certified volunteers (mostly high school students!) who want to give back to their community by helping others learn.
