Middle Math (Bryan Hopster)

In this year-long class, we’ll be meeting 3 times a week to explore the essential building blocks of middle school level mathematics. We’ll explore ratios, operations, percents, expressions, one and two variable equations, coordinate planes, and basic geometry. Students will develop strong problem-solving skills and lay a solid foundation for future math courses. Expect hands-on activities, collaborative work, and plenty of opportunities to apply math to real-world scenarios!

Algebra 1 (Bryan Hopster) (BLOCK)

This is a block class.

Note: This class is open to high school students only.

Algebra 1 is the first high school level math class and is a critical stepping stone in your math education. In this year-long course, we’ll meet 3 times a week to lean more into variables, expressions, equations, functions, and their graphs. You’ll learn to solve linear and quadratic equations, work with inequalities, and explore the connections between algebra and geometry. This class is designed to build a strong algebraic foundation that will support all future math studies.

Algebra 2 (Bryan Hopster)

Note: This class is open to high school students only.

This year-long advanced course will meet 3 times a week and will take you deeper into the world of algebra. We’ll cover quadratics, polynomials, rational exponents & radical functions, exponential functions & intro to logarithms, rational functions, trigonometry, and statistics. This class is designed to challenge you and refine your analytical skills, preparing you for future studies in calculus and beyond. A strong understanding of Algebra concepts is necessary, and students should be ready for rigorous work both in and out of class.

  • Outside work: A moderate amount (e.g., 30-60 min) for each session
