This page contains the recommended summer work for your class for the coming year. Each of these packets are highly recommended. Please see the notes from Mr. Romero which accompany each packet for a full explanation of the topics covered, timing for completion, and additional resources you can consult while working on the packet. Additionally please feel free to check out the videos and practice problems made by Haverford School math teachers.

Throughout Algebra 1, part 1, our primary objective shall be to establish a sturdy foundation. We will mastering indispensable skills, including the simplification of expressions, evaluation of formulas, and resolution of elementary equations. Then, we shall ascend progressively towards more intricate topics, including linear functions, inequalities, systems of equations, and graphing. By the culmination of this course, you shall possess a comprehensive understanding of the core principles that shall lay the groundwork for your future mathematical endeavors.

In the second half of Algebra 1, we will dive into more advanced algebraic expressions, equations, and functions. We will study topics such as factoring, quadratic equations, exponents, radicals, and rational expressions. As you familiarize yourself with these concepts, you will gain a deeper insight into the interconnections between different algebraic concepts and their practical applications.

Please note: There are separate pages for new and returning students. New students will focus on learning the basics of the notation that will be used throughout their Algebra 1, Part 2 course

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Euclidean geometry. Topics covered include foundations of geometry, deductive reasoning and proof, transformations, coordinate geometry, congruence and similarity, polygons, circles, area, and volume. It includes a rigorous treatment of mathematical proof, and students will be expected to justify the major theorems of the course. The students will also be expected to connect concepts and the most successful students will solve problems creatively.

This course is a comprehensive curriculum with particular emphasis on the practical/computational components of the subject and on the use of functions as mathematical models for solving real-world problems. This course delves much deeper into the theory underpinning the basics and considers a wider range of topics. The curriculum reaches well beyond the Common Core requirements and prepares the students to tackle PreCalculus at the advanced level the following year.
