About
In FalconMath, middle and high school students will be able to learn high school level math courses that can help them in the upcoming school year. Each session is one-week long and consists of daily two-hour classes. Under the guidance of members of Team 4099 who have already taken these courses, students will be able to engage in lessons and confidently prepare for the upcoming school year.
There are a total of two sessions over the course of two weeks: two weeks of Geometry and two weeks of Algebra 2/Precalculus. Geometry will be taught in the morning while Algebra 2/Precalculus will be taught in the afternoon. Read further for more information about the camp and each course.
Geometry
This course is perfect for students entering Geometry or looking to reinforce key concepts. Through real-world examples, diagrams, and engaging lessons, students will learn how to apply logic and reasoning to solve problems.
More Details
- Day 1: Transformations - How do we move and change figures in geometry? Students will learn about Euclidean Geometry terms and how to apply their knowledge to learn about changing a preimage’s shape and position.
- Day 2: Transformation Properties & Proofs - What will stay the same after a transformation? Students will learn about transformation properties and how to apply them to prove congruence or similarity.
- Day 3: Congruency - Why is congruence important in geometry? Students will dive deeper into congruence and its importance in geometry. They will learn different properties and how to apply these to geometric problems.
- Day 4: Similarity - Why is similarity important in geometry?Students will dive deeper into similarity and its difference to congruence. They will learn different properties and how to apply these to similarity problems.
- Day 5: Right Triangles + Recap - Why are right triangles so important? Students will be able to review the week’s content and learn about the right triangle’s properties and its significance to geometry.
- Day 6: Analytic Geometry -How do we use lines to determine helpful information? Students will learn the importance of lines in geometry and how they can use them to solve for different geometric properties.
- Day 7: Conic Sections - How do we use conic sections in geometry?Students will receive an introduction to conic sections and learn their basics.
- Day 8: Circles - How do we use circles in geometryStudents will learn the different usages of circles and how to apply this knowledge to different concepts in math.
- Day 9: Solid Geometry - How do we use solid geometry?Students will move on to learn about three-dimensional applications of geometry and how to apply previous knowledge and concepts to it.
- Day 10: Practice Test + Full review of Geometry topics - Students will be able to demonstrate understanding of the topics they learned over the course of the week/two weeks.
Algebra 2/Pre-Calculus
This course is ideal for students moving beyond Geometry, preparing them for advanced high school math. Topics are taught with a focus on conceptual understanding, graphing, derivations, and real-life applications.
More Details
- Day 1: Introduction to Functions - What are functions?Students will learn about different types of functions and why they are a fundamental part of mathematics.
- Day 2: Sequences and Exponents - How do we use sequences?Students will learn what sequences are and how they apply to different concepts.
- Day 3: Quadratics & Complex Numbers - How can we use complex numbers to solve a quadratic function? Students will learn about quadratic functions, complex numbers, and how they relate to each other.
- Day 4: Introduction to Trigonometry - How does trigonometry help us understand the relationships between angles and sides in triangles?Students will learn the fundamentals of trigonometry and its significance in mathematics.
- Day 5: Trigonometric Functions & Applications - In what ways do trigonometric graphs and functions connect geometric ideas with real-world Students will dive deeper into trigonometric concepts and learn how they relate to real-world applications.
- Day 6: Graphing Equations - What can the shapes and features of graphs tell us about the behavior of functions?Students will learn to compare and contrast different functions and their graphs. Students will be able to describe a function’s graph and vice versa by the end of the lesson.
- Day 7: Transformations of Functions - How do transformations change the way functions look and what do those changes tell us?tudents will review transformations and learn how to apply transformations to more complex functions.
- Day 8: Vectors & Matrices - How do vectors and matrices help us represent, manipulate, and solve problems in multiple dimensions? Students will learn about vectors and matrices, their distinct properties and formulas, and how they relate to each other and other mathematical concepts.
- Day 9: Series & Sequences - How can we use patterns in sequences and series to solve complex problems more efficiently? Students will learn about important formulas used for series and sequences and apply this knowledge to solving mathematical problems effectively.
- Day 10: Practice Test + Full review of Algebra 2/Pre-Calculus topics -
