About

This course introduces the fundamental concepts needed for success in algebra and higher-level mathematics. Students develop fluency with arithmetic operations, integers, fractions, decimals, ratios, and percentages, while building early algebraic thinking through variables, expressions, equations, and inequalities. Emphasis is placed on problem-solving strategies, logical reasoning, and translating real-world situations into mathematical models. The course strengthens mathematical confidence and prepares students for formal Algebra I.

Hi! I’m someone who loves exploring science and technology and turning ideas into hands-on projects. I’ve had fun building things like a coilgun, a 2D sonar, theremin gloves, and even a maglev levitation setup. I also enjoy challenges like hackathons and science competitions, where I get to learn, create, and collaborate with others. Outside of science, basketball has been a big part of my life for years, teaching me teamwork, discipline, and persistence. I’m joining Schoolhouse because I believe learning is more meaningful when it’s shared. I’m excited to meet other curious people, exchange ideas, and grow together as a community.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Participation and Engagement

Students are expected to actively participate in lessons, ask questions, and engage in discussions. Regular attendance and consistent effort are essential for success.

Homework and Practice

Homework assignments are a core part of the course and are designed to reinforce concepts covered in class. Students are expected to complete all assignments independently and submit them on time.

Assessments

Student progress will be evaluated through quizzes, written tests, and cumulative assessments. Assessments focus on both procedural accuracy and conceptual understanding. Use of Calculators and Technology Calculators may be restricted during certain activities to encourage mental math and algebraic reasoning. When allowed, technology should be used responsibly and for learning purposes only. Problem-Solving Approach Students are encouraged to show all steps in their work. Clear reasoning and logical structure are valued as much as correct final answers. Academic Integrity All work submitted must be the student’s own. Cheating, copying, or misuse of external help during assessments is not permitted. Classroom Conduct Respectful behavior toward peers and the instructor is required at all times. A focused and supportive learning environment benefits everyone. Support and Improvement Students are encouraged to seek help when needed. Mistakes are considered part of the learning process, and improvement over time is emphasized.

Thu 5:00 PM - 5:30 PM UTCJan 29, 5:00 PM - 5:30 PM UTC

This first Q&A session is designed to welcome students to the course and create an open, supportive learning environment. Students will have the opportunity to introduce themselves, ask questions about the course structure, expectations, and assessment methods, and share their goals or concerns about mathematics. The session will also help the instructor understand students’ backgrounds and learning needs, setting the foundation for effective communication and collaboration throughout the course.
