Pre-Algebra is the young math student's first introduction to high-level concepts, and thus can be quite perplexing. Learned soundly, the elements of Pre Algebra build a solid foundation for the future courses in the junior high and high school curriculum. This tutorial places focus on helping the student achieve comfortability and efficiency in handling even the most difficult problems of Pre Algebra. By the end of the semester will be far more prepared to take on challenges to come in the three years of algebra courses that follow. Algebra II / Trig Regular Tutorial The instructor will teach seminar style, often clarifying weekly concepts being studied in Algebra II/Trigonometry Regular. Question/Answer and some individualized help are part of this class, as well as math short cuts, problem solving skills, homework help, and test strategies. During the session, the instructor will cover the following topics: solving equations, functions, polynomials, rational expressions, quadratic functions and complex numbers. Geometry Regular Tutorial This class will discuss the definitions, undefined terms, postulates and theorems of Euclidean Geometry. We will use the framework of Geometry to reinforce algebra skills using labeled diagrams and word problems. Students will be introduced to proofs by studying formal logic and proving the properties of Algebra. This tutorial will be great support for students taking Geometry concurrently at school and should contribute to higher quiz scores and grades. Geometry Honors Tutorial This class will discuss the definitions, undefined terms, postulates and theorems of Euclidean Geometry. We will use the framework of Geometry to reinforce algebra skills using labeled diagrams and word problems. Students will be introduced to proofs by studying formal logic and proving the properties of Algebra. This tutorial will be great support for students taking Geometry concurrently at school and should contribute to higher quiz scores and grades. Pre-Calculus Honors Tutorial Pre-Calculus is arguably the most difficult course in mathematics that a high school student endures, because it is a transition from simple problem solving (algebra) to more abstract, theoretical mathematics (calculus). The key to easing this transition is knowledge of shortcuts, good form in working out problems, and attention to the right details. This tutorial is designed to emphasize these fundamental parts of the Pre-Calculus curriculum. In effect, the student will not only be able to polish his or her homework more efficiently, but will also significantly improve performance in both the course, and the Calculus courses to follow. |
