High school Homeschool - Math 9

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The main goals of mathematics education are to prepare students to:

• Use mathematics confidently to solve problems 
• Communicate and reason mathematically
• Commit themselves to lifelong learning

This live online, instructor-led math class will help your learner thrive in mathematics this year. Learners will attend live online instruction and be given homework completely throughout the week. The course will include marked assignments, projects, and an end-of-term written summary to assist in documenting learner understanding.

The class consists of 1 x 55 min live online meetings per week and will cover the following content.
