드롭인 수업: NYC 전문 고등학교 수학 시험(Shsat) 준비 2024년 가을

This course is for students getting ready to take the fall administration of the SHSAT for entrance into one of the specialized high schools in NYC who need math prep.  I will be teaching the following topics specifically TO the test:

(This is different from my other SHSAT math prep class because you can sign up a week at a time instead of the full 8 weeks.  This is appropriate if you have strengths in a few topics and need review in just a few topics. If you look at the list of topics, which correspond to 7th grade math units, and you feel overwhelmed, you should probably sign up for the 8-week course.)

Week 1  (Week of Sept. 2).   Ratios and Proportions (including percents)
Week 2  (Week of Sept 9).  Operations with Rational Numbers and general arithmetic problem solving
Week 3  (Week of Sept 16).   Algebraic Expressions (including distributive property and factoring)
Week 4  (Week of Sept 23).   Algebraic Equations (including equations with fractions and variables on both sides)
Week 5   (Week of Sept. 30).   Consecutive Integer Problem Solving and special equation problem solving
Week 6   (Week of Oct. 7).   Geometry
Week 7   (Week of Oct. 14).   Statistics
Week 8   (Week of Oct. 21).   Probability

This course will be taught at the level needed for preparation to place into one of the schools requiring the test as the SOLE admission criterion: 

The Bronx High School of Science(
The Brooklyn Latin School
Brooklyn Technical High School
High School for Mathematics, Science and Engineering at City College of New York
High School for American Studies at Lehman College
Queens High School for the Sciences at York College
Staten Island Technical High School
Stuyvesant High School

There is NO calculator for this test.

Each class will introduce an aspect of the week's topic, demonstration on problem solving, and opportunity for practice. Participation is required to get anything out of class: using a notebook for note-taking and volunteering answers in class.  

With dedication and a good foundation from grade 7, any student can learn the required skills in these 8 weeks and place into one of the elite specialized high schools.
