Grade 5/6 Math:
During this 8-week summer course, we will cover the following topics important to both Grade 5 and 6 students in mathematics: number concepts, including various strategies for multiplying, dividing, and adding whole numbers and decimal numbers, place values, equivalent fractions, as well as solving one-step algebraic equations. We will also explore order of operations, finding the greatest common factor and least common multiple, as well as improper fractions representation, pattern recognition, and using the Cartesian coordinate system. We will then learn about strategies for finding the area, perimeter, and internal angles of shapes, as well as for understanding various transformations of such shapes. Finally, we will cover strategies for finding basic probabilities and working with monetary values to promote financial literacy. This course will provide a strong foundation for students to succeed in both immediate and future mathematics. By the end, students will have developed strong number skills, algebraic skills, geometric intuition, problem solving skills, and probabilistic intuition.
Grade 7/8 Math:
During this 8-week summer course, we will cover the following topics important to both grades 7 and 8: linear relations and graphing, expressions and solving two-step equations , and the relationship between decimals, fractions, ratios and percentages. We will also explore applications of these concepts with the goal of improving the students’ financial literacy. Throughout this course, students will develop their proportional reasoning and algebraic skills.
Pre-calculus 11:
During this 8-week summer course, we will cover the following core topics of Precalculus 11: rational exponentiation, radicals, polynomial factoring, as well as multiple step algebraic equations. We will then explore many properties of quadratic functions, including curve sketching, solving for intercepts, domain and range, vertices, as well as the technique of completing the square. We will also examine higher order polynomial functions. We will use our knowledge of quadratic functions to solve complex inequalities. We will finish with periodicity, trigonometry, as well as compound interest and investment strategies to promote financial literacy. This course will provide a strong foundation for students to succeed in both immediate and future mathematics. By the end, students will have developed strong problem solving skills in exponents, curve sketching, polynomial functions, periodic functions, and trigonometry.
Pre-calculus 12:
In this course, students will learn the most fundamental concepts of Precalculus 12, beginning with transformations of functions including translations, stretches, and inverses. We will then explore families of functions such as exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, and rational functions. We may also introduce trigonometric functions. In this course, students will combine all of their mathematical knowledge from previous years in order to gain an intuitive understanding of functions that will prepare them for future studies in math and science.
