    This rigorous, fast-paced, full-credit course expands on knowledge obtained in Algebra I and develops new concepts including complex numbers, systems in two and three variables, matrices, root theorems of algebra, and properties & attributes of functions including: polynomial, rational, radical, piecewise, sinusoidal, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Instruction will emphasize multiple representations of concepts, applications, and an expectation of technology use (graphing calculators and dynamic Web-based tools such as desmos). Daily sessions will combine independent (asynchronous) and instructor-led(synchronous) work sessions. Students should expect daily homework and assessments. Hawken students must have permission from the Math Department chair prior to taking this course for academic credit. Non-Hawken students need to check with their school to determine if the class will be accepted for credit.

  • Geometry (Full Credit) – REMOTE FORMAT

    Geometry is a full-credit course in Euclidean plane and solid geometry, designed for strong mathematics students. This fast-paced course will include daily group sessions with the instructor and independent student work sessions. Each day’s work is roughly equivalent to a week of classes during the regular school year, so missing class due to trips or other events is strongly discouraged. Students will also be expected to complete additional work at home each day. Hawken students must obtain permission from the Math Department Chair before taking this course for academic credit. Non-Hawken students should check with their school to confirm whether the class will be accepted for credit. This remote class will include a combination of synchronous (online) and asynchronous (independent) work, with synchronous attendance required at 8:30 a.m. each morning.
