About

I understand that diving into a new subject can be a bit overwhelming, so in this 30-minute session, we’ll gently explore the basics of Algebra 1 together. We’ll focus on foundational concepts like variables and equations, breaking everything down into manageable pieces. You’ll discover what variables are and how they can represent numbers in mathematical expressions, which can be a bit tricky at first. 

We’ll also work through forming and solving simple equations, ensuring you feel confident in balancing equations and finding those unknown values. This session is designed with you in mind—whether you're just starting in algebra or looking to strengthen your understanding, I’m here to guide you through these essential building blocks at a comfortable pace. Come join me for a supportive and friendly overview of these important concepts!😊😊 Please bring along a pencil, some paper, and a calculator (if possible)!

Sun 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM UTCJul 6, 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM UTC

In this 30-minute Zoom session, we'll focus on solving one-step linear equations using the balance method. An equation is like a balance; any operation on one side must be mirrored on the other.

We’ll cover types of equations such as addition (e.g., x + 5 = 12), subtraction (e.g., x - 3 = 8), multiplication (e.g., 3x = 15), and division (e.g., 2x = 6). You'll learn to use inverse operations to isolate the variable and how to check your solutions by substituting them back.

MY goal is to help you master one-step equations, setting a solid foundation for more complex problems later on. Please note that we'll skip multi-step equations and advanced topics in this session. Those topics will be covered in the upcoming sessions. YOU GOT THIS!!😊😊👍👍

In this session, we’ll dive into the topic of multi-step equations with a single variable. It’s a good idea to have some paper, a pencil, and a calculator ready, as we’ll be solving equations together, practicing, and tackling some questions on your own. No need to stress! If you find the material a bit challenging, feel free to reach out to me on Schoolhouse. I’ll arrange office hours for anyone who needs extra support. YOU GOT THIS!!😊

In this session, we will cover equations with variables on both sides and how to solve proportions! 🎉 We’ll start by tackling equations where you find the same variable (like x) on both sides. The goal is to isolate the variable on one side and the constants on the other. 

Next, we’ll dive into solving proportions, which are equations that show two ratios are equal. We’ll go over the cross-multiplication method, which is a handy trick to solve these ratios easily. 

Get ready for an engaging and fun learning experience! If you have any questions along the way, feel free to ask! 😊 Keep a pencil, some paper, and a calculator handy! Let’s make math enjoyable together!
