Hargrave takes pride in its demonstrated ability to teach mathematics effectively. This is a tradition that dates to Hargrave’s founding, and it is typically something our students grudgingly respect.
Summer Mathematics Course Offerings
Algebra I
(New; 1 Credit)
Algebra I gives a student the basic knowledge needed to proceed to later mathematics courses: Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus and beyond. Mastery of Algebra is also necessary to succeed in high school science classes, (including higher level science as well), and to solve many problems that arise in everyday life. Furthermore, Algebra I and other math classes train the mind to think logically and to solve problems.
Algebra I
(Repeat; 1 Credit)
This course will cover both parts of the Algebra IA/Algebra IB sequence in preparation for higher mathematics courses. The course will review real numbers, solving, graphing and writing linear equations in one or two variables, solving systems of equations, working with functions, polynomials, radicals, exponents, factoring and if time permits, quadratic equations.
Algebra II
(Repeat; 1 Credit)
This course includes the following topics: exponents, radicals, relations and functions, slopes and linear equations, graphing: linear equations, absolute value, and systems of equations, linear systems, matrices, special product rules, factoring, solving quadratics and polynomial equations, complex numbers, dividing polynomials, rational expressions, conics: parabola, circle, ellipse, hyperbola.
Geometry
(New; 1 Credit)
This course will introduce and expand upon Geometry topics. Topics covered will be patterns, logic, parallel and perpendicular lines, triangle theorems of congruency and similarity, polygon properties and areas, right triangle geometry, properties and areas of circles, arcs and sectors. Volumes and surface areas of solids will be the ending topics.

Robotics
(New; 1/2 Credit; 1 academic block)
The curriculum for Robotics is designed to engage students to solve a series of problems by using a systematic process to come up with a workable solution. Students will develop and use skills in computer programming, logic, mechanical skills, time management, and teamwork to design and build simple robots to complete assigned tasks. Additionally, the history, current uses, and potential use of robots will be covered.
