The Algebra Prep summer program will focus on skills necessary for performance in pre- algebra and algebra. This can vary greatly from year to year depending on the students within the group. We will explore numeracy and place value along with fractions and decimals to see relationships in operations but we may also include variables, integers and algebraic thinking from the beginning of the program.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Designed for Students in Grades 6, 7 and Up (Based on pre-assessment and documentation)
WHAT STUDENTS LEARN
Students will review solving one and two stage equations, integers, radicals and linear functions. They will build models for linear relationships and learn the foundations of slope intercept form along with graphing lines to model real life applications. Students must commit to attending all three weeks of the program and no exceptions can be allowed. They must be able to function in a group setting and be able to work independently with instructor support.
