Grade 6 Math
Grade 6 math marks the beginning of the pre-algebra concepts that are taught to get students ready for Algebra 1. The topics consist of rational numbers, integers, expressions, equations, inequalities, probability, and geometric applications. The students complete the course with live instruction and challenging real-world problems. The classes include concept instruction, practice, homework review, and homework assignments.
Grade 7 Math
Grade 7 math includes deepening of the math concepts learned in grade 6 math. The topics consist of ratio, proportion, graphing, representing equations, inequalities, probability, similarity, area and volume, data representation, and other measurement concepts. The students complete the course through live instruction and challenging real-world problems. The class includes concept instruction, practice, homework review and homework assignments
Grade 8 Math
This course is designed to provide students with the continued opportunity to develop a final understanding of algebraic concepts which prepares the student for Algebra I. Emphasis is placed on solving algebraic equations, and understanding linear, exponential, quadratic relationships through tables, graphs, and equations. The course also focuses on foundational geometric topics such as surface area and volume, Pythagorean theorem, 2D and 3D shapes, object transformations, similar figures, and ending with personal financial literacy. The students complete the course through live instruction and challenging real-world problems. The class includes concept instruction, practice, homework review and homework assignments
Algebra I
This course is designed to emphasize the study of multiple representations of linear and non-linear functions. It includes mathematical concepts for working with rational numbers, various expressions, analyzing and solving linear equations and inequalities, data analysis, probability, statistics, and polynomials. The topics covered include, but are not limited to: Graphs and Functions, Systems of Equations, Quadratics, Laws of Exponents, and Factoring Binomial and Polynomial Expressions. Students will use hands-on materials and calculators when needed in solving problems where the algebra concepts are applied. They will complete the course through live instruction and challenging real-world problems. The class includes concept instruction, practice, homework review and homework assignments
Algebra II
This course helps to build on algebraic and geometric concepts. Most importantly, algebra 2 helps students understand how changing one variable can affect other variables. It develops advanced algebra skills such as systems of equations, advanced polynomials, imaginary and complex numbers, quadratics, and concepts and includes the study of trigonometric functions. These topics are built upon the algebraic foundation learned in pre-algebra and algebra 1. Towards the end of the course, students are introduced to matrices and their properties which they will be later taught in detail with courses such as Linear algebra and Calculus. The content of this course is important for students’ success on both he ACT and SAT as well as college mathematics entrance exams.
Geometry
This course is designed to teach the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three-dimensional spaces. It includes the study of transformations, right triangle trigonometry, inductive, and deductive thinking skills which are used in everyday problem-solving situations. There is an emphasis placed on developing critical skills since they relate to logical reasoning which is used in geometrical proofs as well as in college entrance exams such as the ACT and SAT.
Pre-Calculus
This course combines the previous study of algebra, geometry, and mathematical reasoning into a preparatory course for a higher-level calculus course. The students learn to revisit concepts such as functions and graphs, polynomials and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, analytic trigonometry, topics in trigonometry, systems of equations and inequalities. In addition, the students will then be introduced to analytic geometry and calculus concepts such as limits, derivatives, and integrals. This class is highly important for any student planning to take a calculus, college algebra or college pre-calculus class.
