Grades K - 1
The Kindergarten classes meet once a week for a one-hour period. The 1st classes meet once a week for an hour and a half period. These classes are designed for the development of logical and analytical skills in early childhood. Along with exercises designed to enhance computational skills, there is a strong emphasis on geometry, word problems, and logical reasoning.
Grade 2
Classes meet once a week for two hours.
This class continues to build up computational skills. Variables and equations are introduced for the first time. Every lesson starts with review of material covered in previous classes. Then new material is introduced, the class applies it to problems.
Grades 3 - 5
Classes meet once a week for a two-hour period.
In a course of a year variables and equations get further attention. The main feature of these courses is the use of the concrete => pictorial => abstract approach. This method enables us to introduce pre-algebra as early as in 3rd grade and encourages active thinking processes, communication of mathematical ideas, and problem solving.
Grade 6
Classes meet on weekends for one 3 hr session (which includes algebra and geometry), or for separate algebra (2hr) and geometry (1hr) sessions on weekdays.
Throughout the course of 6th grade, the emphasis is placed on development and complete understanding of mathematical concepts and their application, as well as on proficiency in multi-step problem solving, mathematical reasoning, and higher order thinking. Geometry is introduced for the first time in 6th grade. SAT-I topics are introduced in this course as well. A quiz or test is given in every class.
Grades 7 - 10
Classes meet for 4 hr per week (2.5 hr algebra and 1.5 hr of geometry). This course is designed as a continuous three-year long program. Algebra class covers a range of topics from factoring to trigonometry. Geometry topics include plane, analytical, transformational, and solid geometries. Trigonometry topics include equations and inequalities; trigonometric functions, their properties and graphs; formulas and trigonometric identities.
SAT-I, SAT-II
The SAT-I class is designed primarily for 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students who want to prepare for the SAT-I test. The SATII class is designed for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students who want to prepare for SATII-1C and SATII-2C tests. Together, these classes cover all of the topics that are tested in both SAT’s.
Both classes meet one or two times per week for 4 hours on weekend or 1.5 hr and 2.5 hr on weekdays.
Class starts with a test covering material studied in the previous class. After the test, the instructor goes over the homework assignment and the test problems. Next, a new topic is presented. The homework assigned for the next lesson deals with the current topic and covers the particular areas that the students are having trouble with.
