What is Algebra?
Who is the course suitable for?
This Algebra course is designed for Grade 7 to Grade 10 students who want to strengthen their understanding of algebraic concepts. If you're starting with variables and equations or want to learn more complex problems, this course will guide you step by step. Through practical examples and real life applications, students will develop problem-solving skills that will help them succeed in school and prepare them for future math courses. Algebra is a key subject that lays the groundwork for higher level math, and this course ensures students are well-prepared for success in Grade 7 to Grade 10 and
beyond.
How does the course work?
This category includes 3 different sub-categories. After a lesson students will be able to refine their skills by using Google Classroom with the support of their tutor. Students will also be able to go back and review important notes from completed lessons.
How do I dedicate a specific topic within my package?
You will be able to designate the hours included in your package to certain topics or categories.
How much time should be dedicated to a topic or a category?
Depending on the student, the amount of time needed will vary. As your lessons progress, your tutor will guide you on when it is okay to move on to the next topic and will work with you to adjust based on your individual needs and progress.
Before starting the course you will be consulted via a Skype video call so that I can:
1. Learn more about you.
2. Show you how to use/set up Google Classroom and Khan Academy.
3. Help you set lesson topics, dates, times, and achievable goals.
4. Allow you to become more comfortable within the online learning environment.
What do I need to learn online?
Learning online is effective and convenient. It's most likely that you already have:
1. An internet connection with a speed of 10mbps.
2. A computer or laptop.
3. A webcam (preferred, but not necessary).
4. A comfortable spot in your home.
5. An email address.
What are the 3 sub-categories within Algebra?
How can they help me? What will I learn?
1. Basic Algebra Concepts
This course will build a strong foundation in basic algebraic principles, giving you the tools to simplify and sole basic algebraic problems. Understanding these key concepts will make more complex algebra topics easier to grasp as you progress.
Each topic will teach you how to:
Understand variables and constants.
Simplify algebraic expressions.
Work with exponents and powers.
Use the distributive property.
Apply the order of operations (PEMDAS).
2. Solving Equations and Inequalities
Solving equations and inequalities will help you gain the ability to take on world problems and algebraic challenges. You will develop problem-solving skills and learn how to represent relationships between numbers graphically, which is a critical skill in algebra.
Each topic will teach you how to:
Solve linear equations and inequalities.
Solve and graph linear equations.
Solve word problems using algebraic equations.
Advanced Algebra Topics
Here you will take your algebra skills to the next level by teaching you how to manipulate more complex expressions and solve multiple-variable equations. These skills are essential for tackling advanced math problems and will be useful in higher-level math courses.
Each topic will teach you how to:
Expand and factor algebraic expressions.
Solve systems of equations.
Work with polynomials.
