Courses

10th Math:
Pattern and Structure

In this course, students will explore algebraic and geometric concepts by identifying patterns and describing mathematical structures. You will help students build on their knowledge of numbers and operations, algebraic representation, and functions and their graphs to deepen their understanding of the logic that underpins algebraic manipulation and make connections between algebra and geometry.

The concepts and skills that students will explore in this course form the foundation for trigonometry and future math courses. This is where they start to transition from foundational math to more challenging and rewarding math.

11th Math: SAT Math Fundamentals

In this course, students will learn how their journey through the SEO math curriculum up to this point has already prepared them in a substantial way for math on the SAT. You’ll teach students how to leverage this hard‑earned knowledge and apply heuristic problem‑solving strategies and Desmos calculator techniques to achieve success on this important standardized test.
