ABOUT LTT’S MATH PROGRAM- What makes us unique?
● After successfully piloting online math courses last year, LTT is improving the structure of math courses by providing additional class time this year. Classes will consist of a 1.5-hour in-person primary session on Wednesday and a 1-hour online session on Monday. This format will serve our families well by ensuring adequate instruction time, opportunity for a “mid-week” check-in, and convenient access for students on Mondays. Students may also join an optional help session on Fridays.
● LTT mathematics classes are modeled on current best practice teaching methodologies and all math classes supplement our textbook based curriculum by incorporating various online tools that are becoming more and more prevalent in math education in high schools and universities. We use IXL.com for standards based spiral review, Desmos.com for hands on math activities, Symbolab, for online graphing, and geogebra.com for exploring geometric relationships.
● Because we recognize that students work at different levels, we offer many of our math classes at both standard college prep and honors level. Students are offered the opportunity to earn honors points throughout the year on tests and homework assignments. If they complete the honors assignments and tests with acceptable grades (average on honors work > 75), they receive a special Honors designation on their final grade report.
● To keep skills current, summer review assignments will be assigned by mid-June. Depending on which class you take, these assignments will be in IXL.com, teachingtextbooks.com, or downloadable pdf files. The assignments, which will review all of the prerequisites, will be due the first day of class and count as your first homework grade. If you have significant trouble with it, you should consider taking a review class over the summer.
For the 2020-2021 school year we will offer Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2.
Geometry will be offered in the 2022-2023 school year.
