This mathematics course is for students from 6th grade to 9th grade who are struggling in their math courses. Employing a “problem-based classroom” teaching approach, the instructor will give the students a binder full of pre-algebra practice problems. Skills needed to work with fractions, integers, expressions, equations, and graphs will be a big part of this camp. Students will complete problems in pairs. Then they will review them on the board, with their peers, and with the instructors. Specific strategies and activities designed to help students understand to construct proofs will be included in the camp. Instructors will teach concepts and ideas as needed by the students, but this camp will be focused on running through as many practice problems as possible. Students who struggled in a previous Geometry or Algebra I course would be a good fit for this camp. The type of problems will be based on the Geometry common core curriculum and student needs.
