Morning Program: Algebra I Clinic for Students Completing Grade 8 June 2016

Algebra Clinic is designed for students who need a refresher or who want to enhance their algebra skills before going back to school in September. This is a great opportunity to get ready for the PARCC test in algebra.  Researchers have said that how well a student does in algebra is the best indicator on how well the student is prepared for college.  Topics will include: operations of real numbers and their properties;  solving linear equations and inequalities; writing and evaluating algebraic expressions; identifying and evaluating functions; writing linear equations; graphing systems of equations and inequalities; working with operations of polynomials; factoring polynomials; solving quadratic equations s and basic concepts of statistics.

Course Outline

(lab fee and materials included)

Afternoon Program: Statistics for Middle School

The fundamentals of Statistics will be explored by completing fun activities and projects.  For example, we will discuss planning and conducting a study including methods of data collection and sampling techniques. We will explore quantitative vs. qualitative data by looking at the center and spread of different distributions.  Students will then create and compare post-it note distributions that emphasize the importance of randomization.  By looking at the odds of certain games of chance, we will discuss the law of large numbers and probability rules.  At the end of the week, we will have a delicious treat of M&Ms or Skittles and will analyze the color distribution of our sample.  Statistics concepts on the MS PARCC test will be reviewed and practiced. Students will become familiar with the TI-83/84 graphing calculator.  (All supplies and calculators will be provided.)
