We're going to dive into the world of graphing by discovering the cartesian coordinate plane, plotting points on a graph, and exploring the world of geography!
Live Math Class Session
These math class lessons will start you out on the right path into our algebra adventure. After watching the math lesson video, continue to practice the concepts using the workbook, activities, games, projects, word problems... and have fun learning!
Pre-Algebra Basics:
Graphing the Coordinate Plane
This is the third workbook that I've put together for you, and the two videos below will walk you through select problems in this workbook. So grab yours and let's work together through: Graphing! Plan to complete 3-4 pages per day. After you complete the pages, you may check the answer key.
Math Game: Triples
This is a fun way to review what we've been working on, and it works best with a group of friends, even if you don't know each other very well. You can do this game solo, but it's a lot more work (you have to do all the problems instead of sharing the workload)!
Math Activity: Algebra Packet #1 (Part 4)
If the workbook above Operations on Integers was too easy for you (HINT: there's a test at the back that you can use to figure this out quickly), then use this packet below to work through a deeper dive into the content. This packet has several sections that covers the important concepts we'll be using throughout this course and into Algebra 1. Please use the packet we started on in Pre-Algebra Session #1.
Math Review: Integer Scavenger Hunt
We've covered a lot in our time together! Let's review what we've done from the first four sessions with integers, variables, terms and expressions using this fun scavenger hunt activity.
Math Review: 8 Stations
We've covered a lot in our time together! Let's review what we've done from the first four sessions with integers, variables, terms and expressions using this fun 8-station activity.
Math Activity: Geography
For this session I've put together a set of math activities based on geography. The first in the set covers the geography basics that all students should start with. There's a fun activity where you'll receive postcards from all over the world from a globe-trotting gnome as well as playing a game of Geography Battleship with a friend!
Geography Lab: Globe-Trotting Gnomes
We have a friend that loves to travel, and every time he lands in a new city, he sends us a postcard! Let's see if we can figure out where he is and plot it on a map or use our globe for this exercise.
Geography Game: Battleship
Let's play a fun version of battleship using the same coordinate system we use to plot our own position on the surface of the Earth: using latitude and longitude! You'll need a friend to play and a separator so you can't peek at each other's board during the game.
Math Challenge
Each session, I have a special Math Challenge for you to work on after you work through some of the content in this area of math. The goal for these special math challenges is for you to be able to communicate your great ideas with your family and friends, without them being in a math class or having any knowledge of a specific area of math. You should be able to convey your great ideas to most people that are interested in hearing what you have to share. Many families find this part of the math program exciting for them to participate in with their student!
Solution to Math Riddle #4
Nine years.
Final Review Packet
We did a Math Party for our final in-class review for Pre-Algebra, and the link below is for the packet that we worked through during class. Answer key included at the back. (Math Parties are not recorded.)
