This year-long course is designed to introduce students (ages 11-13) to the exciting worlds of algebra and Python programming. Over the course of the year, students will not only learn the fundamentals of algebra but also develop the skills to solve problems using Python code. With a hands-on, interactive approach, this course will guide you through key mathematical concepts while making coding fun and approachable. What Will Be Taught? Throughout the year, you will learn foundational algebra concepts and how to apply them using Python programming. You'll understand how to: - Solve simple and multi-step equations - Work with functions and graph linear equations - Identify and analyze number patterns - Solve real-world algebraic word problems - Graph inequalities and plot equations using Python What Topics Will You Cover? Here’s a breakdown of the key topics we’ll cover: - Basic Algebra: Variables, operations, and simple equations - One-Step and Two-Step Equations: Solving for x and using Python to automate solutions - Functions: Defining and evaluating functions, graphing linear equations - Patterns and Sequences: Recognizing arithmetic and geometric sequences, generating patterns with Python - Graphing: Plotting equations and inequalities, visualizing math with Python libraries - Word Problems: Translating real-world scenarios into algebraic equations and solving them with code How is the Class Structured? Each week is focused on a specific algebraic concept and how to apply it through Python programming. Classes will be a mix of: - Interactive Lessons: Breaking down complex ideas with real-life examples - Hands-On Coding: Writing Python programs to solve algebra problems, graph equations, and visualize solutions - Project-Based Learning: Engaging in weekly coding challenges and mini-projects to solidify the concepts learned - Practice Problems: Reinforcing lessons through individual and group work to ensure understanding How Will You Be Taught? The course will use a variety of teaching methods to keep things dynamic and fun: - Lectures: I’ll explain key concepts in simple terms with plenty of examples. - Games and Interactive Activities: Students will get involved with coding challenges, games, and quizzes that relate directly to the material. - Slide Decks: I’ll use slides to summarize the main points and visually illustrate abstract algebraic concepts. - Video Clips: We’ll occasionally watch short videos to break down tough topics or provide real-world applications of algebra and coding. - Coding Labs: Students will apply what they've learned by writing and running Python code in live coding sessions. What’s Your Teaching Style? I believe in making learning engaging and interactive, focusing on helping students develop a strong understanding by actively participating in the lessons. My approach is student-centered, meaning you’ll have plenty of chances to ask questions, share ideas, and work through problems at your own pace. I use a mix of: - Direct instruction to introduce new concepts - Collaborative learning through group coding tasks and discussions - Real-world examples to show how algebra and Python are used in everyday situations How Much Will You Get to Interact with Me? This class is designed to be highly interactive: - Live Q&A: I’ll be available throughout the class to answer your questions and provide guidance. Students can ask questions during lessons and coding sessions. - Group Discussions: We’ll frequently discuss problems together as a class, with opportunities for students to share their solutions and strategies. - 1-on-1 Support: During coding labs, I’ll offer individual help, whether you need assistance with Python code or understanding algebraic concepts. - Regular Feedback: After assignments and projects, I’ll provide personalized feedback to help you improve and grow. By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident in your algebra skills and Python programming abilities, setting you up for success in both math and technology!
