Online Algebra Workshop: Equations! (Happening Now!)

Schedule: 6-sessions, Meeting Monday and Wednesday on Zoom for 3 weeks for one-hour live sessions with Michael Waski

Cost: $195

Each session will be offered at two times, 8am and 7pm ET, on session meeting days accommodate different time zones and schedules.

During this workshop, Michael Waski provides instructional lessons for teaching the following skills: Order of Operations / Inverse Operations, Solving Linear Equations; Solving Simple Non-Linear Equations. This workshop will also touch on  what is needed to do advanced quadratic equations, such as factoring, completing the square, and the quadratic formula.  

Format: 4 live-webinars with lesson instruction, then follow-up independent work and in-class assignments. (All webinars will be recorded and shared with participants.)

• Course  length: 3 weeks   
• Webinar dates: June 14, 16, 21, 23, 28, 30
