[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you had a teacher conference? If not, I would ask for this asap. [/quote]

OP here. Yes, my kid is a 10th grader. I've been emailing with the teacher and she's been responsive but not particularly helpful (recommended coming in for lunch time help which my kid has done, sent me a list of MCPS teachers who tutor) but isn't treating this like the 5 alarm fire that I feel like it is (which I understand but I guess I expected her to be a little bit more invested in her students' success). If I were to have a meeting with her - what else would I ask for? In 11 years of MCPS - I've never had to request a meeting with a teacher.

To respond to others - I ordered a hard copy of the text book and will sit down with my kid this weekend and look for the right Khan academy videos.

I don't remember if I already said this but on Canvas, in Modules, the teacher doesn't post anything instructional - just problem sets and answer keys - so I'm not even sure what my kid is supposed to reference. The text book I guess? I guess this would be one question for the teacher?[/quote]

Do you know any math?

You need to figure out lessons from the practice set you and then go with your kid over lessons and additional problems, watching him as he works through them. You have to identify gaps in previous knowledge to be able to help him. Once the gaps are identified, work on the gaps, then go back to regular (precalculus) work.[/quote]

Go on Khan Academy with the student. Student should be able to find the module that matches the school. Watch videos and read text and do practice problems.

Also, go back and do Course Challenge in Algebra 2 or Integrated Math 3. Check for  remedial gaps. [/quote]
