Khan academy introduction
- 1. 1. Go to khanacademy.org, and click ‘Log in’
- 2. 2. Since Facebook is blocked on campus, you will sign in using your Gmail account
- 3. 3. This is a very important step: Select ‘Coaches’ on the left side. 4. Type: v6math@gmail.com for the address
- 4. 5. Once you’ve logged in, the Mastery Questions are located in the Practice area: 6. Select the correct topic and your page will look like:
- 5. 7. There are some topics that require only 8 consecutive correct answers to master. Others require 10. You can do as many questions as you need to until you have the required 8 or 10 correct in a row. I will provide you a list of the mastery topics and their due dates for the first quarter. Your homework grade is based on practicing the problems and achieving mastery by the due date each week.
- 6. A. Each correct answer results in a set of leaves moving up into the stack. B. Once a group of questions has been completed, you are shown a summary. If you look at the leaves you can see 2 problems were missed. Mastery has not been achieved.
- 7. A. Mastery before due date: 100% B. Mastery within 3 days after the due date: 75% C. Because you should be rewarded for your efforts, you will receive 2 points for each question answered, correct or not, up to a maximum of 70%. If you answer 100 questions but still cannot get 10 consecutive correct, you will still receive a grade of 70. D. Looking again at the last example, if you stopped at this point, your score would be 16%--8 questions @ 2 points each. Mastery is achieved through repetition. If you keep working the exercises, there is no doubt you can master every topic.
- 8. Please do not wait until Saturday to begin the week's exercises. If you start early in the week, you can bring any questions you may have to class and receive help. Check the v6math.blogspot.com site for the weekly topics, links to help you achieve mastery, and other resources. Good Luck. The sooner you make this part of your regular routine, the more success you will have.
