Perfect for students in public, private, or charter schools, homeschoolers, intervention programs, GED students, high school equivalency students, and adult learners.

What’s the difference between the Teacher and Student Video Series?

The Teacher Series is professional development showing how to teach the strategies, while the Student Series is designed for students to watch directly and learn core concepts with fun, memorable visuals and examples.

How long does it take to go through the videos?

Algebra Basics Video Series for Teachers:

 There's over 2½ hours of footage, which includes the strategies being modeled with students.  Depending on how long it takes teachers to practice the color coding, it should take approximately 3 – 3½  hours for teachers to complete all of the videos.

Given how incredibly busy teachers are, it is highly recommended to have teachers watch in collaboration with other teachers, either during department meetings, during PD days or during other structured planning time.  Each teacher will receive a personal login, allowing them to easily rewatch the content anytime for reinforcement or review as needed.

Please note: Each teacher viewing the videos during structured planning time must have an individual license for the online PD.

Algebra Basics Video Series for Students:

The Algebra Basics Video Series for Students includes over 2 hours of engaging instruction. Depending on how long it takes students to go through the practice problems in the videos, it should take approximately 3 - 4 hours to complete the videos.  

Students can go at their own pace and revisit lessons as needed to build confidence and mastery.  The student’s progress is saved, so they can jump back in at any time and start where they left off.  

The supplemental worksheets are excellent for additional practice to build stronger skills and confidence.  Students can check their work with the color-coded answer keys.

Is it recommended for parents to watch the videos with their child?

While students can watch the videos on their own, parents are encouraged to join the fun alongside them!  Even parents can get nervous about math—but not for long!  Ms. Kermode makes math fun and doable for everyone. Her proven, easy-to-understand teaching style has helped countless kids AND adults feel confident and capable, one “aha!” moment at a time.

Will there be other video courses?
