Series Details

About

This series will provide students with immersive, in-depth, sessions that will review fundamental concepts of Pre-Algebra that builds upon previous knowledge in Mathematics as well as expands knowledge regarding key concepts in areas such as equations, inequalities, proportional relationships, systems of equations, functions, and linear models.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Due to the immersive nature of the course it is suggested that you attend most sessions as they relate to concepts that have been previously learned. However, if you choose to skip a few sessions, it is completely understandable.

Try not to miss more than 5-6 sessions. If registrants are seen as lacking in attendance or fail to attend any sessions, they will be removed from the series.

When a session is hosted, if no student attends within the first 15-20 minutes of the session starting. The session will be ended and delayed to the next day. Students will be notified of this change when it's made.
