MATHEMATICS COURSES

FUNDAMENTALS OF MATH
The concepts studied in this course are presented in the table of contents of its textbook, Saxon Math 6/5, 2nd edition. Introduction of the theory of sets (real number diagram, representation, and classification of real number) has been included in this course. The main objectives of this course are:
-
Build in each student the sentiment “I can do it”
-
Sketch the real number diagram and classify any real number
-
Perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (BY HAND) for integers, fractions, and decimals
-
Solve three types of equations and perform substitutions
-
Solve proportion problems including unit conversion
-
Master determination of area, perimeter, and angles for common geometric shapes (circle, square, triangle, etc.)
This course is taught over the period of 30 weeks. Each week the student will attend a one hour in-person math class where the concepts of five lessons will be taught. Students are required to do all the twenty-five problems in each problem set as homework (one set per day.) Videos on how to solve assigned problem will be available. Each student is required to turn in one out of the five sets assigned as homework. For the set that is to be turned in, there will be no video help. Combined with other parameters, the lesson that needs to be turned in, will be used to measure the student progress in the course.
PRE-ALGEBRA
The concepts studied in this course are presented in the table of contents of its textbook, Saxon Math 7/6, 3rd edition. The eleven rules of algebra and the prefixes of the metric system have been added to this course. The main objectives of this course are:
-
Memorize the eleven rules of algebra and use them to solve simple numeric and algebraic expressions
