The camp is held June 10-27, 9am-12pm each day (M-Th). The last day of camp, June 27th,  students will be testing at the Education Center located at 350 Keller Parkway, Keller, TX 76248 

The cost is $150 ($50 for those on free/ reduced lunch)

This class meets virtually each day with a certified KISD math teacher. The teacher will lead the whole group in instruction about 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time, students will work either with the teacher in small groups or work independently on the Canvas course. Students will be instructed to bring questions from their independent work to their small group sessions with the teacher.

The list of topics covered in this online course can be found below.

Students will learn how to ...

• use a graphing calculator
• simplify expressions
• write and solve equations
• write and solve inequalities
• solve problems using slopes
• graph linear equations
• determine if a relationship is proportional or nonproportional
• use similarity and dilation to solve problems
• use Pythagorean theorem to solve problems
• calculate volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones and spheres

Students who are enrolled in 7th grade math that are getting good grades and want the challenge of taking Algebra 1 the following school year make great candidates for this summer camp.

During the month of May, all the students registered will receive an email through their KISD email account with information about accessing the course. This will include a "practice" course that is required. This course will teach them how to use any technology used in the course. Teachers will begin emailing students during the first week of June.

All the course content is available in Canvas so that students can work on what they miss, if they miss any. We encourage all students to bring their math questions to each small group so that the teacher can best support their math needs. There will be no additional tutorials provided.

The Algebra Readiness test is proctored by the math teachers on the last day of the camp, June 27th. Students need to report to The Education Center at 350 Keller Parkway at 9am on the day of testing. Teachers will be available to proctor the test all day if needed (the majority of students finish the test in 1–2 hours). Students who have accommodations and/ or modifications that are required by law during the school day will receive these on the day of testing. All students will be given a formula chart and a graphing calculator. Teachers will use the Desmos application as a graphing calculator during the course and students can choose to use it on the day of testing. The only thing students need to bring to the test is their district issued device.

You will be able to check your score in Canvas after you have tested.

In order to keep our assessment secure, the test will not be available. Students who do not get 80% of the test correctly will be enrolled in 8th grade math the following year, where they will have a chance to revisit all of these topics in more depth. 

Unfortunately, I am unable to provide additional testing days this summer. The only testing date will be June 27th and there is no retesting available. 

Registration will open on March 1, 2024. The registration will close once the classes are full.

If you are unable to register due to the course being full, please email shannon.bryant@kellerisd.net to be placed on the wait list.
