Yes, you Khan!


Hey there, Middle Schoolers. Were you home sick when your teacher talked about quadrilaterals, and now the class is onto polygons?



Or were you in class on quadrilateral day but didn't understand what the heck your teacher was talking about?





What if there were a school with a calm, patient teacher who explained quadrilaterals in eight minutes flat? 

Oh wait, there is! It's called Khan Academy! All you need to go there is a few minutes of your time and a computer. No school bus. No attendance. No homework. This free online school offers hundreds of You Tube videos on almost every topic at every grade level.

Here's how it works:


  • Type the topic you want to work on.  
  • Click the video for that topic. Watch it as many times as it takes to get it down. 
  • Optional: Go to the Practice menu. Type in your subject again. Do a quick workout until you've nailed it. 
   
Best part? No report card except the one in your head.
