This camp is intended for rising 7th and 8th grade students who want to refine their pre-algebra skills. The camp will utilize strategies of explicit instruction with cumulative practice, visual representation, peer-assisted instruction, and ongoing formative assessment to nurture a growth mindset toward maturing math skills. The camp will focus on the following pillars of pre-algebra:
-Mastering operations with rational numbers including fractions, decimals, and integers
-Understanding and applying proportional relationships including percentages and ratios
-Solving simple equations with variables on both sides
-Graphing and interpreting linear equations
The instruction and structure of this camp is geared for students that have a tendency to struggle in math. The course will be taught by Learning Consultant Kristi Treml.
