Do you need a review of Pre-Algebra or an extra boost before Algebra? Do you want to reinforce your prior math course or keep your math skills fresh over the summer? Are you joining TPS for the first time and want to make sure you are ready for Algebra? Students answering yes to any of these questions will benefit from this course. We will reinforce computational skills, as well as strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Some of the target areas include: operations with integers (positive and negative numbers), order of operations, solving equations, ratios, proportions, coordinate systems, and foundations for factoring. Live teaching will cover important concepts and include in-class problem-solving, including student participation on the whiteboard.
Note: This course provides weekly practice, evaluation and feedback in math skills related to the level of the course. The course is valuable for strengthening foundational skills to smooth out rough patches from the prior school year or give a head start for the next school year. Individual assignments receive feedback and a grade, but the course has no final grade or credit. The course is not a prerequisite for and does not provide placement approval for any TPS course.
