About
Welcome! Each Saturday at 9 AM EST/6:30 PM IST, we'll explore a different Pre-Algebra topic by interacting with fundamental concepts before engaging in helpful practice problems. To strengthen your knowledge and problem-solving capabilities, we will go through practice problems, potentially kahoots/quizizzes, and pre-/post-session surveys. The session descriptions are rough outlines of the content we will cover in the session and is subject to change. After each session, I will send everyone a problem set of 5 problems related to the topic we will cover in class. These are entirely up to your discretion, and feel free to message me any questions about the problem sets anytime! If there are any topics you want to explore further or don't yet have a good understanding of after the sessions, I am more than happy to open an office hours timeslot. By the end of the series, you will have a deeper understanding of most of the concepts covered in Pre-Algebra.
Week 1: Orientation
Week 2: Patterns
Week 3: Factors and Multiples
Week 4: Ratios and Rates
Week 5: Percentages
Week 6: Exponents and Order of Operations
Week 7: Equations and Inequalities
Office hours are on Wednesdays (FINALIZED, and the survey is no longer accepting responses). Here is the link to an office hours survey. It will decide the finalized day office hours will be held each week depending on the answers to the survey, so please respond to it by our session on Jul 9th. Link: https://forms.office.com/r/timzAZCXQW. Note: they are optional and will not cover any new content.
Here is the link to our shared series google drive, where all the session slideshows and problem sets will be posted: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t3v8rblDFmFjOHO_eM3HDEf7TLLRFngP?usp=sharing
