Dear Families,
Please see below for the weekly message.
Math 15 Summer School
Grade 9 students looking to register for the online Math 15 summer school course should contact Ms. Roach (meroach@cbe.ab.ca) prior to May 16th to express their interest.
The online Math 15 course does not replace the designated high school Math 15 prep class as it is not as in-depth, however, it can help to boost the confidence of students as they enter into their recommended grade 10 Math class – Math 10-3, Math 15 Prep/Math 10C or Math 10C.
Useful information about the course:
- Math 15 is a useful course to fill gaps in preparation for grade 10 math, it does not teach grade 10 math concepts
- Math 15 is a three credit course that will show up on the student’s high school transcript
- This course is asynchronous:
- This means there are no mandatory online meetings/classes with the teacher
- Teachers will offer an optional one hour per day synchronous meeting
- Communication with the teacher, through the D2L shell is critical to a student’s success
- Students can accelerate their learning and complete the course early
- D2L may not work outside of Canada
- Students will have access to Math 15 beginning June 28
- Students are also required to complete ‘Essentials for Learning’ prior to beginning Math 15
Students can also see Ms. Roach to register for this summer school class. Registration starts on May 17 and it will close on May 24.
