This exploratory Algebra I course provides the foundation students require for future success in high school mathematics, critical thinking, and problem solving. The primary goal in Algebra I is to help students transfer their concrete mathematical knowledge to a more abstract algebraic generalization. This course is suggested for students who have finished Math 6+ or an equivalent course and will be a primer for the year to come. It is not recommended as a review course, but may function as one.
Date: June 22 – July 10 (3 weeks)
Time: Mon–Fri 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Online
