What do numbers look like? How are equations used to predict what will occur in the future? These questions are answered through the topic of graphing! In Algebra I, your student will be introduced to the basics of creating a graph. Terms like slope and y-intercept will become second nature as the fundamentals of Pre-Algebra are strengthened. Moving out of Algebra I, your student will be prepared to tackle the next year of topics by having a solid grasp on the tools needed for graphing. Together, we will begin to see graphs not as a page with lines, but as a beautiful picture of a mathematical equation!

Taking the principles of graphing and applying it to shapes is the core of geometry. The students will learn numerous definitions to help them understand the terminology of this "foreign language." Studying the equation of a circle and formulas of midpoint and distance will be beneficial as students learn to reason through abstract ideas. Not only will students learn these foundational principles, but they will also prove the validity. The goal of the Summer Math Institute is to prime your student, so he or she can be better prepared for the coming school year. 

Algebra II is the capstone of high school mathematics.  It is upon this course that College Algebra and Trigonometry are built at the university level.  Systems of equations and conic sections are major course curriculum goals.  Through the principles of graphing and rate of change, students discover God's character in mathematics.  His fingerprints of order and representation are clearly seen.
