For Middle and High School

In this course, students will explore the 8 fundamental functions and other related concepts -- such as factoring, inverse functions, and properties of logarithms -- that make the backbone of Algebra 2. Students are expected to have taken Algebra I or an equivalent course prior to taking this course. Don’t you worry! We will have tons of fun learning these concepts through various Desmos activities, Kahoots, and explorations. To strengthen understanding of the concepts taught in class, there will be practice problems available after every class. Students will build a strong foundation in Algebra through this course to improve success in future, advanced mathematics courses. 

For High School

In this course we’ll cover a basic overview of the reasons for defining limits, derivatives, and integrals. The class is meant to teach the concepts of Calculus with a less formal approach; using visuals, reasoning, and generally less math than a standard math class. The main topics of this class include basic limits, including analyzing limits in graphs and derivative tests, integrals, and various other applications. We will cover theorems such as the fundamental theorem of calculus, mean value theorem, and intermediate value theorem. To make the class friendly to newcomers of Calculus, concepts will be linked back to classes that most students have taken before; for example, relating derivation to position, velocity, and acceleration, as well as discussing basic concepts such as continuity in functions. As such students should come into the class after having taken Math 3 or an equivalent before.

For High School (Rising 11th Graders)

In this AP Language class students will learn how to master the different aspects of the AP Lang exam as well as improve their writing and analyzing skills. This class deals with pieces of literature (primarily nonfiction) ranging from memoirs to eulogies and students will learn how to carefully comprehend these pieces to the best of their ability. In addition, this class walks students through exactly how to write each of the 3 essays in the AP Lang exam; Rhetorical analysis essay, synthesis essay, and argumentative essay. Not only that, the course will also shift focus to allow students to practice their multiple-choice skills which will also be tested in the exam. The class itself will hold discussions, note-taking, and editing essay exemplars to heighten students’ literacy skills.
