This academically intense and fast-paced program provides an accelerated, rigorous learning experience in a small class setting with specialist instructors at the University of Washington Seattle campus.
The UW Robinson Center's Algebra I (Summer Stretch) program offers a comprehensive exploration of the core principles of a first-year high school Algebra course. Students will engage in interactive lessons and modeling to understand foundational algebraic concepts, including linear, quadratic, and exponential equations. The curriculum also incorporates basic one and two-variable statistical analysis. Through cycles of discovery, practice, and application to real-world scenarios, students will develop skills in building and interpreting functions, reasoning with expressions and equations, graphing relationships, and performing operations on polynomials. The program emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to construct and critique mathematical arguments. Students are expected to actively participate in group work and discussions, sharing observations and solution strategies. The course aims to build a strong foundation for advanced mathematics by applying concepts to real-life situations and fostering an understanding of how algebraic equations can solve real-world problems.
A typical day involves in-class activities, interactive lessons, and group work focusing on mathematical concepts, procedures, and problem-solving, with an emphasis on applying algebra to real-world scenarios. Students are expected to complete approximately one hour of homework nightly.
This program is best for academically motivated students currently in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade who have prior knowledge in the use of variables and computational skills with rational numbers, as seen in Grade 8 Common Core Mathematics Standards.
