レーザー ライン - 数学の裏にある物語を発見 (サマー キャンプ)

Laser Lines is a 3-week Summer Camp designed to cover major cornerstones of linear equations, their geometry, their Physical interpretation and how they can be applied to answer a variety of questions.

The course is designed by a weekly theme as follows:
Week 1 - Visualize and feel
This week is all about Geometry; we will understand the geometric and physical meaning of slope and apply it to different scenarios. We also delve into the difference between linear variation in general and proportional variation in particular.

Week 2 - The algebra and the writing
Once we have a geometric-visual foundation for lines, we delve into linear equations, and we understand how to construct them by taking two data points in the form of slope-point, point-intercept, or point-point equations. At this "point," we can delve into solving some iconic equations with different configurations!

Week 3 - Iconic Story problems 
Mathematical modelling is the ultimate task for mathematics. This week is about tackling famous story problems related to lines and linear equations; we finish off the course with one of the most intriguing setups in linear equations that combine all our different abilities to perform one task!

My classes are interactive; every student can participate several times during class, and I dedicate time to have a group dynamic where we all learn from each other. My students can use the screenshots from the sessions as helpful notes for them to review all the central ideas that we cover.
