Subjects Covered
01
Arithmatic
Before attempting algebra one needs proficiency in the four basic operations: +, -, x and ÷ . Proficiency includes learning the multiplication tables up to 20, not merely 10. BTW: there is no longer such a thing as New Math. New Math died an ignominious death decades ago.
02
Algebra
Algebra is a symbolic language relating to numbers. Algebra is not magic. Proficiency in arithmatic is a determining factor in success in algebra. If one struggles to multiple two two-digit numbers less than 20, competing with those who can is difficult.
03
Trigonometry
Trig is the study of lines and curves using principles learned and skills developed in geometry and algebra.
04
Pre-calculus
As the name suggests Pre-C is the precursor for studying the mathmatics of change. Pre-C combines all the aforementioned topics with an introduction to calculus.
05
Calculus
The study of change is a bridge that crosses over a chasm, a bridge to the world of STEM, finance, economics and many other rewarding vocations. An introduction to calculus is core college prep. material.
06
Study skills
Pen versus pencil; white lined composition paper versus graph paper; pencil eraser versus pink hand-held eraser; 7mm lead versus 5mm: do such choices impact one’s success in the competitive classroom? Yes!! They do! Also, when operating an electronic calculator, use the hand with which you DO NOT write. This saves time.
Success in the classroom is transported to the everyday environment.
Ever notice how children who are proficient in math are equally proficient in other skills? Ever notice how proficient students exhibit confidence? Which came first: confidence or proficiency?
As a parent or grandparent you are key
