Courses by Charlene

Pre-Algebra, as presented by Charlene Johnson on SchoolhouseTeachers.com, is a full 40-week course. Each unit builds on previous lessons and so should be studied sequentially by the student to completely understand the topics. The course is structured so that the student can easily find the topics they may want to review while they are working through this class. The student will learn facts about a topic, how to expand on those facts and associate them with previously learned facts, how to apply these facts to real life, and review before moving on to the next topic..
