Would You Like Half?” Fractions and Proportional Reasoning – This workshop uses everything from recipes to graphing technology to explore how fractional relationships lay the groundwork for proportional reasoning. Folding, cutting, drawing, and graphing will remind students what fractions actually are and how to use them. Open to students who have completed 5th grade or higher (including high schoolers) who have studied all four basic fraction operations but would benefit from review and expansion.

To Algebra and Beyond

The quadratic formula. Students work hard to memorize these formulas and use them, but along the way they often lose sight of what the formulas actually mean. Without understanding the reasoning behind the formula, it is easy to lose sight of how to apply it. We will focus on the reasoning behind formulas from proportions through geometry up to logarithms, with an eye toward the kinds of questions that are asked on college entrance tests like the SAT or ACT. (Designed for students that have completed Algebra 1 in prior years.)

Dates: July 18-22 In-person 10:30 am – 1:00 pm Online 4:30 pm – 7:00 pm Cost $250
