As of Fall 2025, current classes include Grade 6, Grade 7, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Consumer Math

You decide in which course to enroll. Course content is comparable to what you would find in public school or other homeschool curriculum. If you are unsure the best placement for your child, please contact me. You can find the content for each course listed on each specific course page.

Pre-Algebra is typical for 8th grade and for advanced 7th grade students. Algebra 1 is common for 9th grade and Algebra 2 for 10th and above provided the student successfully completed Algebra 1. You must have Algebra 1 prior to Algebra 2, Geometry, or any other high school course. Geometry and Algebra 2 can be taken in any order and different schools and curriculums approach this differently.

A placement test specific to my program is available upon request.

I strongly caution against skipping a grade just because a student seems advanced. There are topics that are missed when doing this. If you have questions, please contact me.

You will need access to a printer. You will need a 3-ring binder and 3-hole punch in order to keep and organize your notes. You will also need basic supplies such as paper and pencil. You may need tools such as a ruler, compass, and protractor depending on the course. Colored pens or highlighters may aid students as well with notes. You will not need to purchase a textbook. Each class is provided with a free, online textbook for reference purposes. Classes that utilize calculators may use free calculators included with their devices or use a free app on their phone. When necessary, I can give further guidance on this.

Classes may vary depending on the subject matter. All courses will be live and incorporate direct teaching, student practice, and activities. Classes will be recorded, so if there are internet issues or a student must miss due to illness or family needs, the class may be made up at the student’s convenience. In the event of teacher illness or conflict, the class may be recorded rather than live.

To put it briefly, no. Common core is a list of standards expected to be taught in each grade. It is NOT a method of teaching. To see the topics I teach in each grade, please see the scope and sequence on individual course pages. How I teach is based on 25 years of experience and is not dictated by any curriculum. I can tailor examples to fit student questions and use a variety of methods to reach all learners. 

Both parent and student should use the same login and password to access the course. Parents should regularly check what is due and look at grades. Parents should also read announcements for current information. It will be the parent’s responsibility to contact me with concerns. I am happy to speak with and help any family with questions. However, I do not contact families to let them know a student is not doing well. You will know grades and progress by regularly checking the student’s portal in Canvas.

Due dates are generous to allow for issues such as internet connectivity, illness, family emergency, etc. Further, the 2 lowest homework scores and 1 quiz score will be dropped. No tests will be dropped. Students will want to be careful with their time so that procrastination does not cause further issues. As long as work is completed on a regular basis, students should not have trouble with getting work turned in. I have made allowances in both due dates and dropping scores so that families will have plenty of opportunities to deal with problems that may arise.

If you have an extenuating circumstance, parents should contact me as soon as possible to discuss the situation. If you have a trip planned, please contact me before the trip to discuss options.

Students will be given the opportunity to ask questions during the live class. Other opportunities for understanding include examples provided in notes or text, video links, and in the lesson page for that day. Each lesson page includes supplemental helps such as videos, games, activities, tutorials, and extra practice. Students may also contact me through the message center in the class portal. The class fee does not include one on one support. However, Mrs. Peters makes every effort to be sure to answer all questions in class and sent in the Canvas portal. She also provides numerous resources on each day’s lesson page.

One full year live class for 2026-2027 is $750. This includes the live teaching for one full year, downloadable and printable class notes, and access to all class resources for one year. You will not incur any book fees! Discount codes may be available via events such as conventions. Feel free to contact me to see about early-bird pricing.

All math classes will be academic in nature. Students of all faiths are welcome.

I do not use a particular curriculum. I create many of my own materials and outsource the rest from multiple sources. I teach the grade level topics based on my 25+ years of experience. Homework and activities are appropriate to the material being taught. All courses will be provided with regular notes that contain the information needed for each topic. Students will need to complete these during class. There is also plenty of supplemental material provided via other websites that provide additional help, practice, or short videos. All classes will also be provided with a free, online textbook for reference purposes. (I do not teach from the textbook.)

• Before June 30: receive refund minus a $50 service fee

• July 1 – 31: receive refund minus a $100 service fee

• Until end of first week of classes: 50% refund

• After 1 week of classes: no refund

HOWEVER, a student may transfer from one course to another without penalty.

Due dates are generous to allow for “life happens”. All due dates are 10 days from when something is assigned. This is true for homework, quizzes, and tests. Canvas will automatically assign a zero to any work not turned in by the due date. To help hold students accountable, there is a late policy. Anything turned in late will have 10% per day deducted from the earned score. For example, an assignment earning 85% that is turned in 4 days late will receive a 45%. Keep in mind, this means the student had 10 full days to work on this and ask for help. So, a grade will show a zero until it is turned in. Once it is turned in, the grade with the late penalty will override the zero. If you experience extenuating circumstances such as a hospital stay or a planned vacation, parents may contact me for an exception. Exceptions will only be made if a parent contacts me explaining a warranted reason for an extension.
