Eureka 4! 4th Grade Math: A Complete Curriculum*Closed

Quarter(s): 1,2,3,4

Day(s): Mon,Thu

Open Spots: 1

Eureka Math 4 is a full-year, complete math curriculum for students who have mastered the equivalent of Eureka's Math 3 content (below). This class meets twice a week and is designed to be a full program where students receive instruction in person at Compass and complete homework on off-days at home.

Topics in Eureka 4 include:

• Four basic operations with whole numbers to solve work problems.
• Factors and multiples
• Multi-digit place value
• Adding and subtracting multi-digit whole numbers
• Multiplication of multi-digit whole numbers using several methods
• Division of four-digit dividend by one digit divisor
• Fraction equivalents and common decimal equivalents
• Adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators
• Word problems with measurement and conversion from larger unit to smaller
• Representing and interpreting data
• Drawing and classifying lines, angles, and shapes
• Introduction to angles and angle measurements

Publisher Great Minds.org describes the Eureka curriculum as a "holistic Prekindergarten through Grade 12 curriculum that carefully sequences mathematical progressions in expertly crafted modules, making math a joy to teach and learn." Eureka is aligned with most state standards. Read more about Eureka Math HERE. https://greatminds.org/math/eurekamath. Eureka Math 4 is being offered at Compass as a full year class with 59 in-person class meetings. Attendance is very important. In the event of a missed class due to illness or travel, students may cover the missed lesson through online recorded lectures available in the Eureka suite of online supplements. Prerequisites: Math 3 or equivalent with mastery of the following:

• Has learned/memorized all math facts fluently: addition/subtraction (1-20) and multiplication/division through 10 x 10

• Solves word problems with the 4 basic operations
• Uses place value understanding to perform multi-digit arithmetic
• Adds and subtracts within 1000
• Understands fractions as part of a whole
• Understands area and perimeter

Assignments: Assignments will be made in class as a range of pages to complete on the topics that were taught in class. The instructor will follow up with an email repeating the assigned pages. Assessments: Each class, the instructor will check that students have completed the assigned homework. Homework will be recorded as attempted or not attempted. Parents will be provided with an answer key for homework. Students will be given short, in-class quizzes to encourage them to be prepared and engaged. The instructor will record quiz scores in order to track a student's overall understanding and progression in class, but the instructor will not provide a letter grade. Parents may track quiz scores in order to assign their own grades and complete homeschool record-keeping. Textbooks/Workbooks: Students will need a set of 4 "Learn" softcover textbooks and 3 "Succeed" softcover workbooks. To make sure that students get the correct edition, Compass will purchase book bundles for each students (See supply fee below). Students will receive one textbook and one workbook at a time, and the future editions will be stored at Compass until needed to prevent loss or damage. Lab/Supply Fee: A class fee of $86.00 is due payable to Compass on the first day of class for the class books. What to Bring: Students should bring a spiral notebook, pencil, and their workbook to class each week.

Algebra II*Closed

Quarter(s): 1,2,3,4

Day(s): Mon,Thu

Open Spots: 4

This is a complete course in high school Algebra II which will cover fundamental concepts and provide a solid foundation of mathematical literacy, problem solving, reasoning, and critical thinking skills that are necessary for the exploration of more advanced and rigorous topics in mathematics. Topics in Algebra II include linear functions, systems of equations and inequalities, quadratic functions and complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, rational and irrational algebraic functions, and quadratic relations and systems. In addition, this course will cover higher degree functions with complex numbers, sequences and series, probability, data analysis, and trigonometric and circular functions. Students will explore these topics through class discussions, practice problems, and open-ended problem solving. Prerequisite: Students should have a solid foundation Algebra I in order to take this class. Workload: Students should expect to spend 1.25-1.75 hours per day on reading, review, and homework on most non-class days. Homework assignments will run on a 13-day cycle in this class with: a new unit introduced on a Friday (day 1), lecture on Wednesday (day 6), questions and answers on the next Friday (day 8), and homework due the next Wednesday (day 13). After introduction of a new topic (day 1), students will be expected to read the assigned section and look through worked, sample problems before the lecture the following Wednesday (day 6). Solutions will be provided for some homework problems, but students are expected to show all steps of all work.
