WHAT TO EXPECT

Live Classes:

• Live Instruction: Students receive 34.5 weeks of live instruction, meeting 3 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) for 60 minutes per session — totaling 104 sessions. Some classes meet only 2 days per week and are priced accordingly.

• Extra Help Sessions: Optional drop-in help is available every Wednesday from 9:00 AM–3:00 PM MST and every other Friday by appointment.

• Small Class Sizes: Personalized attention and support in every class.

• Class Recordings: All sessions are recorded and accessible via the Student Portal for review or in case of absence.

• Qualified Instructors: Your child’s teacher is highly qualified and experienced in teaching mathematics.

• Engaging Instruction: Lessons are designed to support a variety of learning styles, ensuring every student stays on track and feels confident.
   

Curriculum:

• No Textbook Required: Mrs. Math courses do not use a traditional textbook. Instead, students use guided notes and structured coursework.

• Student Portal Access: Upon enrollment, all course materials—including guided notes and weekly assignments—are available through the Student Portal.

• Coursework Expectations: After each live lesson, students are expected to complete weekly assignments to reinforce what they’ve learned.

• Printing Options: Families may print coursework at home or request a pre-printed coursebook by mail for a small additional fee.

• Required Supplies: Students will need basic school materials (notebook, pencil, scissors, etc.), provided by families. Our Elementary 2 students will receive a kit containing helpful manipulatives to be used during classes.

• Graphing Calculator (Algebra 1 and Up): A graphing calculator is required beginning in Algebra 1. Free online options like Desmos are recommended.
   

Progress Monitoring:

• Parent-Led Flexibility: Mrs. Math empowers families to stay in the driver’s seat, offering flexibility in how assignments are graded (completion vs. accuracy), how assessments are taken (with or without notes/calculator), and whether retakes are allowed.

• Progress Tracking: Families can monitor student progress through the Student Portal.

• Self-Checking & Support: After completing their coursework, students (or parents) use the provided solutions manual to check for errors. Students are expected to make corrections or reach out to their instructor with questions.

• Extra Help Available: Students are always welcome to attend optional help sessions for additional support.

• Weekly Communication: Weekly newsletter with content information and helpful tips and reminders.

• Quizzes, Chapter Tests, and Semester Exams are completed online and graded automatically. Students can retake quizzes and chapter tests as many times as needed. 

 

Student Success:

• Independent Work Time: In addition to live sessions, students should plan to spend 1–2 hours per week on independent coursework and assessments. The exact time may vary depending on the student and the topic.

• Encouraging Ownership with Parent Support: While students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning, Mrs. Math values parent involvement. Parents are encouraged to regularly check in with their child about what they’re learning, review their child’s work and progress, and log into the Student Portal weekly to stay updated.

• Supplemental Support When Needed: In some cases, the instructor may recommend extra instruction during Wednesday or Friday help sessions for students who need additional support.
