Elementary Math - All Year

Overview:

Building on the foundational knowledge and skills presented in early elementary math, students begin shifting to completing basic computations abstractly. Students are presented with more challenging topics such as expanding polynomials, computing square and cube roots, and deriving formulas for calculating areas, volumes and surface areas, as well as preliminary concepts of algebra. Working collaboratively with parents, the instructor will develop a differentiated plan for each student to achieve the desired outcomes, including pace of the coursework. This course requires a math test to determine placement. Students not completing all of their math lessons during class may require parental support during the week.

Mid-Winter Break will be February 21st-25th. Spring Break will be April 4th-8th. Classes will not occur during these breaks. 

Prerequisite:

None

Computer Requirements:

Students must have access to a computer as well as additional hardware and software. Some programs or courses may indicate additional technology requirements, and not all programs are Mac compatible.

• Windows PC or Mac computer
• Display with minimum resolution of 1024 x 768. While it is not mandatory, it is recommended to have a second monitor connected to the computer to extend the desktop. This allows the student to more easily follow what the instructor is demonstrating while concurrently being able to see the software environment that the student is working within.
• Broadband internet connection
• Headset with microphone
• Three-button mouse
• Internet browser (eg. Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari)
