For Boys in Grade 8 Enrolled in Algebra I
Eighth grade boys enrolled in Algebra I are invited to join us for our annual Algebra I enrichment program. This virtual session is designed to firm up mathematical understanding; preparing students for Honors Algebra II as freshmen and laying a strong foundation for eventual success in IB Math or AP Calculus.
The program consists of two intensive 30-minute online sessions per quarter, combined with assessment and detailed feedback from Dean of Academics Mr. Dan Corcoran '07. In addition, students receive a series of video presentations with real-world examples and practice work.
The lessons review Algebra I concepts that should be mastered by that point of the year, according to Ohio Department of Education standards. Most students can expect to work on Algebra enrichment for a total of approximately 3–4 hours per quarter.
