G3~8 Junior Math and Computer programming Camp
This program is a hybrid course for young students that consists of reinforcing fundamental concepts of math and learning programming. The course does not teach a specific programming language, but it introduces students to the world of computer science and programming. Throughout this course, students will develop analytic and creative skills for problem-solving.
Fundamental Concepts of Math
Mathematics is a fundamental intellectual tool in computing. Students will explore various math concepts from sequence to algebra to abstract function. The students will learn how math concepts are related in computing.
Learning Objectives
-
Understanding of relationship between math and computer
-
Learning Problem Solving skill
Fundamental of Computer Programming
Computing is increasingly used as a key component in mathematical problem-solving. Students will make math games with a gradual increase in difficulty levels. By applying math concepts to designing the games, students will adapt algorithmic and system thinking.
Learning Objectives
-
Basic Programming using Scratch
-
Algorithmic Thinking
-
System Thinking
-
Creating multiplication game
Summer Test Preparation Programs
Intensive PSAT/SAT/ACT Preparation- 1 week
The SAT 1 has changed significantly in 2016. This means that the current freshmen high school students will have to take the changed SAT. The new SAT is geared towards a more “evidence-based” reading, writing, and mathematics questions. The new SAT is expected to focus more on critical thinking and deciphering key pieces of information from a graphs or datasets or passages. The details about the test can be found at www.collegeboard.org.
Think Prep has redesigned summer SAT program based on the changes of new SAT. The redesigned 1-week intensive SAT program focuses a few important topics. For students who are interested in preparing for the new SAT, we will focus loosely on the ACT writing and English sections to start. We will also teach effective math skills for NO calculator math section. In addition to this fundamental prep, we will focus more on data analysis and graph analysis for the mathematics sections with a heavier focus on algebra 1 and algebra 2 curricula.
College Essay Writing- 7 weeks
This course is a workshop for seniors writing their common application essays. The class will start with brainstorming ideas and ultimately writing a perfect common application essay. The classes will continue on after the summer.
Intensive SAT Subject Test Preparation - 7 weeks
We offer SAT Subject Test Prep for all math (IC & IIC) and science subjects (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). These classes are recommended for students who have taken at least one semester's worth of their respective test subjects. The class takes place during the weekdays and lasts 2 hours.
SSAT/SHSAT Preparation- 7 weeks
This class is designed for Middle School and/or High School entrance prep. The classes are rigorous with an initial three-week fundamental sectional focus. The rest of the program is focused on rigorous practice and review. The students will be prepped for the October exam.
