Transition Math – 3rd Edition (Ages 10–13)
Transition Math 3rd Edition is a one-year course designed to help students bridge the gap between arithmetic and pre-algebra. It covers essential topics such as measurement, partial amounts, place value, and multi-step arithmetic word problems, providing a solid foundation in mathematical reasoning.
This course is ideal for students who need to catch up on key math concepts or who want to ensure they are on track to reach calculus by age 16. With a focus on mastery, students develop confidence in problem-solving and numerical understanding, preparing them for success in pre-algebra and beyond.
- Throughout the year, learners engage with clear explanations, practice exercises, and real-world applications that make math accessible and meaningful. By the end of the course, students will have the skills and knowledge necessary to tackle algebraic reasoning with confidence.
SUMMER COURSES
Fractions, Decimals, Percents
​One Day AcademyÂ
We cover a basic overview of the meanings and definitions of these 3 forms of describing portions. We look at the 4 basic operations for decimals and fractions. We look at how to convert among fractions, decimals, and percents. And we look at how to properly understand and manipulate mixed fractions. Part of each step is working with fractions which contain, not just numbers, but also variables as well.
Intro to Algebra
​One Day AcademyÂ
We cover a basic overview of the rules and procedures of working with signed numbers, as well as the conceptual foundations of understanding and solving first degree equations. We also explore operations with signed numbers as they apply to variables. We examine the fundamental principles of exponents, and how they provide the building blocks for handling polynomial expressions. Finally, we introduce two dimensional graphing, including how to graph lines.
Algebra Applications
For One Day Academy Summer Class
A special emphasis will be placed on how to think in approaching a word problem.
Each of the 10 weeks will be spent looking at a major type of application in algebra, and the skills which are required to support working the application problems. Topics include percentages (tax, increase, profit), variation, ratios and proportions, rate and distance, total value, and linear modeling.
Intro to Algebra II
​One Day AcademyÂ
Following Introduction to Algebra, we will look at the major components of higher level algebra: solving non-linear equations, higher order polynomials, solving systems, non-whole number exponents, rational expressions, and several levels of difficulty of writing linear equations from data.
Intro to Trig and Pre-cal
​home or in a group
We look at a variety of topics, including graphing, triangle solution and application, proofs, angular velocity, and equations. A special emphasis is placed on learning the theory behind the unit circle, and how to use this theory to learn all the exact values which trig work expects a student to memorize.
Intro to Calculus
For Summer Class at
​One Day Academy
We look at a variety of topics, including limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals, and related rates. A special emphasis is placed on difference quotients and understanding the foundation of calculus: finding the limit of adding a finite number of calculations as the number of calculations goes to infinity.
