ALGEBRA 1 - MATH GYM
IIf you were not as successful as you would have liked on a specific learning target from a quiz, you can sign up to hit the Math Gym and practice that learning target through Khan Academy. In doing so, you earn an 80% on that learning target.
Steps
1) In order to be eligible for quiz corrections via math gym, you first need to have corrected all the mistakes for that section on the actual quiz you took in class. That makes you eligible for math gym and the eventually 80%.
2) Scroll down below to see all our learning targets. Then click on the one you wish to practice. Once you are successful, either take a picture with your phone or print out the page (make sure you get the whole screen, especially the title of the skill). Show this to me, along with your quiz corrections from step 1, at the end of the next class period.

WARNING: unless you are working on a personal computer (and even then), I recommend creating a Khan Academy account and signing in before completing any Math Gym practice. This saves your progress and avoids some bugs.
The email address you should use is the same one as your school email (mine would be [email protected] if I were a student) and the same password that you use for PowerSchool.
