University of Phoenix Material

Khan Academy Directions

This week you will begin working through some Khan Academy videos along with corresponding Khan Academy problems. These problems were selected to ensure you have a foundational knowledge of math concepts in order to be successful in your math classes. It is important that you read though all of the directions carefully. The layout of this page may vary.

Be sure you are working through your mission throughout the week. Do not try to cram this assignment into one day, as you will not be able to do so. It is highly recommended that you work through the material each day. The best way to ensure you complete your mission is to finish all practice problems and mastery challenges each day they are assigned to you.

Khan Academy can be completed using a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. It is recommended that you use the web browser on the mobile device, not the Khan Academy app.

Setting Up your Khan Academy Account1) Make sure you have your University email address when setting up your account.2) Visit https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra-basics . 3) Click Sign up.

Take a screen shot for Week 1 and Week 2 to show your mission completion percentage. Submit this screen shot to your instructor for the Khan Academy Study Plan Assignments. Be sure to take the screen shot with your name in view.

The following grades will be assigned based on your mission completion percentage:

Week 1 4 points – 26% - 33% or more of mission completed 3 points – 18% - 24% of mission completed 2 points – 10% - 17% of mission completed 1 point – 2% - 9% of mission completed 0 points – 0% or has not attempted any problems.

Week 2 4 points – 58% - 66% or more of mission completed 3 points – 50% - 57% of mission completed 2 points – 42% - 49% of mission completed 1 points – 34% - 41% of mission completed 0 points – 0% increase from week 1 or has not attempted any new problems.

It is highly recommended you complete and earn 66% Mission even if you do not finish them in Week 2. These skills will be helpful throughout the course.

Note: If you forget to save your screen shot of your results, you will have to log back into Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org) and take another one.

Week 1 Checkpoint ObjectivesPractice the items below before taking MyMathLab Week 1 Checkpoint. Mastery is not required before completing the MyMathLab Week 1 Checkpoint. However it is recommended you master the items below before completing the Checkpoint to have the best chances of success on the Week 1 Checkpoint. After you have completed these items continue on to the rest of the List of Required Objectives on the next page to achieve your 33% mission completion for week 1.

Foundations Order of operations Order of operations with negative numbers Adding & subtracting negative fractions Multiplying positive and negative fractions Dividing positive and negative fractions

Algebraic Expressions Evaluating expressions with one variable Writing basic expressions with variables Writing expressions with variables Combining like terms with negative coefficients Combining like terms with negative coefficients & distribution

If you finish early with your 33% mission keep working on your mission. This will give you the best opportunity to fully complete your Khan Academy mission of 66%. If you do not finish your 33% mission in Week 1 keep working at it. You need these skills to be successful in this class and in your future career.
