Frequently Asked Questions about Algebra Boost!
What is this website and how can it work for my child?
Your child will have private access with their own account to over 100 topics in Algebra 1. Each lesson has a video, worksheet and answer key. The video is Ms. Thall going over the exact worksheet with strategies and hints on how to work your way through the problem. Ms. Thall is great at explaining and going through the problem as if she is teaching in her own classroom. This way students can use this resource as direct instruction, guided / modeled practice, or independent practice and review is an awesome part of the program.
What are some ways students use the website?
- Use the videos as a reteach tool if they struggled with understanding it in class
