Algebra I for the 8th Graders



Today the 8th graders completed their "homework" on-line.  Yesterday they spent the class period watching a video and taking notes.  Last night was dedicated to studying the textbook and answering practice problems.  Today they completed the cycle by answering and entering their homework.  Technology has sure turned the traditional classroom upside down! The flexibility of on-line classes allows for personalized lessons and the ability for students to work at their own pace.  Individual students are able to move into more advanced math classes when they are ready without waiting for others.  Pre-tests, videos, tutorials, practice tests make it an almost impossible task to fail.  Our students will be able to take a test in the spring and with a passing grade (80%) they will receive high school credit.
