Mr. Fleisher teaches grade 9/10 Math courses, including gifted. The material and workload aren't hard, at least not when compared to Advanced Functions and Calculus in grade 12. The best way to do well in any math is to do the assigned homework. Unless you are a math prodigy, you will absolutely need to do practice problems regularly. Cramming the night before a test is not going to cut it.

When I had Mr. Fleisher in math, he generally taught things by writing on a tablet which is then projected. He creates a handout that starts with the lesson and then includes practice problems as well as a list of homework questions he recommends in the textbook. He's fairly easy to follow because he writes on a digital copy of your handout. I've heard from more recent students of his that he rushes a bit due to the time constraints of the pandemic.
