Geometry and Measurement : Students will engage with more advanced geometric concepts, including angle measurement, parallel and perpendicular lines, symmetry, and calculation of area and perimeter. The geometric intuition and proof-based approach of Russian Math are combined with Singapore Math's visual and hands-on learning techniques. Algebraic Thinking: Patterns, relationships, simple equations, and introduction to expressions. The Algebraic Thinking section of Logicus Math Grade 4 Honors advances students' understanding of algebraic concepts, helping them explore more intricate number patterns and relationships, comprehend the use of variables in more complex scenarios, and solve multi-step equations. This course cultivates an enhanced understanding of mathematical principles, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills and nurtures a sustained passion for mathematics. Subtopics: Advanced Patterns and Relationships: Students will study more complex numerical and geometric patterns, developing their ability to express patterns and relationships using algebraic expressions and equations. Working with Variables: Students will gain proficiency in using variables to represent unknown quantities in more complex mathematical expressions and equations. They'll understand how variables can represent one or many numbers and how they are used to solve problems. Solving Multi-step Equations: Building on their equation-solving skills, students will learn to solve multi-step equations that involve multiple operations. They'll learn strategies such as balancing equations, using inverse operations, and performing operations in the correct order. Real-world Applications: Students will continue to apply their algebraic thinking to real-world problems. They'll translate complex situations into algebraic equations, using variables and equations to solve these problems. The CAM program at Logicus continues to foster problem-solving and critical thinking skills, ensuring a well-rounded mathematical education. The program includes a 90-minute class each week throughout the academic year. For any inquiries, please contact us at info@logicus.school or 914-243-1431. Thank you for considering Logicus!
Pre-Algebra Honors prepares students for the rigors of algebra and also explores problem-solving techniques to prepare them for middle school math contests such as MATHCOUNTS, MOEMS, and the AMC 8. Topics covered in this course include the properties of arithmetic, exponents, number theory, equations and inequalities, decimals, ratios, scale and proportions, unit conversions and rates, percent problems, equation of a line, absolute value equations and inequalities, square roots, introduction to geometry (angles, angles in a triangle, parallel lines, polygons, area of polygons, and Pythagorean Theorem), statistics, counting and probability, and more!
