Private Summer Academic Camp 2013
July through August
Summer maintenance :)
Summertime is a busy time for you and your family and academics tend to take a back seat over vacation. Many students need to keep reading, writing and practicing during this time to maintain their newly learned skills and concepts. I’ve seen firsthand how keeping an academic routine over the summer can benefit a child come the fall and this is why I decided to make available to a limited number of students this summer opportunity. Your child will receive valuable instruction in reading, writing and mathematics from a certified teacher.

7th grade Accelerated Mathematics (going into 8th grade accelerated Math)
These lessons will help students understand how slope-intercept form, scale drawings, linear functions, scatter plots, and geometry are applicable to future careers. The lessons address the following questions:
- Session 1: How does changing the slope or the y-intercept in a linear equation change a line?
- Session 2: How is scale factor calculated and applied when you dilate a drawing to a larger size?
- Session 3: How is the area of a plane figure changed when one or more of the original dimensions changes?
- Session 4: How does the volume of a three-dimensional figure change when one or more of the dimensions changes?
- Session 5: How can understanding linear functions help you determine which rental car company offers the best deal?
- Session 6: What is the correlation between education level and long-term financial benefit?
Session 1
Main lesson
Pilots and flight engineers: Working with slope-intercept form
· Students will learn to manipulate equations with changes to the slope and the y-intercept.
Session 2
Main lesson
Graphic designers: working with scale
· Students will gain experience drawing objects to scale and using scale drawings to solve problems
Session 3
Main lesson
Woodworkers and finishers: working with area
· Students will name two-dimensional figures and find the area of each.
- Students will calculate the change in area when one or more of the measurements are changed.
Session 4
Main Lesson
Commercial and industrial designers: Working with volume
· Students will find the volume of a variety of three-dimensional figures and determine the percent of change in volume when the dimensions are changed.
Main Lesson
Travel agents: Working with linear functions
· Students will create equations based on real-life scenarios, graph those equations, and analyze the graphs.
Session 6
Main Lesson
Guidance counselors: Working with scatter plots
· Students will graph a scatter plot and manually approximate the line of best fit. Students will be provided the opportunity to confirm their scatter plot and line of best fit using their graphing calculator. Students will explain the meaning of the line and make reasonable predictions based on the data.
** Review and extra practice will consist of going over formulas and working with the concept before working on the scenarios. The extra practice will be problems from state tests or problems like they would see in a school setting.
