create and call functions, use operators to respond
to any changes and experiment with programming to build creative games and applications. Class sessions include time to work on the program and homework with assistance from the instructor. All the programs and classwork will be saved online and students can have access to their projects from home.
INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON PROGRAMMING Entering Grades 3 and 4 – This course introduces
core Python programming basics including data
types, control structures, algorithm development and program design with functions. Students will also de ne new object classes, create interactive applications
with buttons, learn about animation and develop
an interactive game using the Python programming language. The course discusses the fundamental principles of object-oriented programming, as well as data and information processing techniques. Class sessions include time to work on the program and homework with assistance from the instructor.
MATHEMATICS
GRADE 2 MATH OVERVIEW [2 HOURS] ★
Entering Grade 2 – Students will focus on operations
and algebraic thinking, numbers and operations in base 10, measurement and data as well as geometry. The course will address even and odd numbers, rounding, telling time in ve-minute increments, counting money, adding and subtracting double- and triple-digit numbers, and solving word problems. In addition, students
will gain a deeper understanding of place value and problem-solving, and will work with equal groups to gain foundations for multiplication. The concepts taught in this class will assist students in acquiring the mathematical foundation needed for the next grade level.
GRADE 3 MATH OVERVIEW ★
Entering Grade 3 – This course is designed to teach
the main strands of third-grade math with a focus on operations and algebraic thinking, place value, fractions, measurement and data as well as geometry, as outlined by the California Common Core State Standards. The course will also address multiplication and division facts, patterns and properties, area and perimeter, sorting triangles and quadrilaterals, adding and subtracting decimals, money, and solving word problems. Students will have the opportunity to develop an advanced repertoire of skills and strategies in an environment
that encourages critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity. The concepts taught
in this class will assist students in acquiring the mathematical foundation needed for the next grade level.
GRADE 4 MATH OVERVIEW ★
Entering Grade 4 – This class will introduce students to themes and concepts of algebra, geometry and statistics. Students will use hands-on applications and problem- solving exercises designed to promote conceptual understanding and enhance logical thinking skills. Additional math topics include place value, rounding, estimating, identifying prime and composite numbers
as well as prime factoring. Students will practice fundamentals of addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division through complex problem-solving.
★ Meets Common Core standards.
The Math Overview series is designed to introduce key Common Core math concepts from the upcoming year while reinforcing the prior year’s most essential carryover skills.
