Levels A, B, & C

Students build foundational math skills, including: number sense, counting & cardinality, operations & algebraic thinking, base-ten operations, measurement & data, and geometry. Teachers use Singapore Dimensions, supplementing it with their own math stories, games, and projects. Students use hands-on manipulatives during live class meetings and to practice and reinforce skills outside of class.

At the end of each Unit, students complete a Key Assignment, integrating the skills taught and practiced throughout the Unit in a project-based assignment that brings math into real life.

Class materials include Singapore student books and math manipulatives.

Introduction to Programming
Python 1

Students will use the Python programming language to learn the fundamentals of programming including string manipulation, loops, functions, data structures, and file i/o. These tools will be used to create interactive programs, both text-based and incorporating simple graphics. Programs range from smaller exercises that can be completed during live class to larger projects customized to student interests and may include simple games or interactive stories, encryption and code-breaking, generating art, and analyzing scientific data. The course is suitable for those with no prior programming experience.  

This class is 1 semester, offered in the Fall Semester, Aug-Dec.
