Grades 7-9
Offered during Academic Year and the Summer.
Material is taught to provide a thorough grounding in algebra concepts. Topics to be covered include: Exponents, Solving single variable equations, inequalities, absolute equations, two variable equations, quadratic equations; linear and quadratic functions; word problem application of algebra concepts. Offered as a 5 month course (from September to January and February to June) during the academic year and an 8-week course during the summer. Our program will help prepare students for this high-school-level math class (which affects their high school GPA).
