This five week program is targeted for students who will enter Algebra or Geometry in the Fall of 2019. Two different courses will be offered. Homework will be provided between classes to support skills introduced in class. Algebra Summer Studies will meet from 6:00pm-7:00pm and Geometry Summer Studies will meet from 7:00pm-8:00pm Tuesdays/Thursdays. No class will be held the week of July 4.
PLEASE NOTE: We do NOT recommend any student take both courses. Please choose the course that is the best fit for your child based on the class he/she will enter in the fall.
Below is a general outline of topics; however, the instructor will amend instruction based on the skill/needs level of registered students.
