Heart of Algebra 2

The sequel to the acclaimed "The Heart of Algebra" (https://www.edrev.co/gtedclasses).

This engaging, interactive class will provide a deep understanding of the most important concepts in Algebra 2. Just like the Heart of Algebra 1, this class is based on the book I’m writing which is designed to cover all of the most essential aspects of Algebra from 7th grade through 11th grade. While the exact content covered and pace will depend on the class’s comfort level and understanding, in our six 1.5hr classes I aim to cover about 25-50% of the (non-graphing) material you’d see in a full-year of a public school Algebra 2 class. Specifically, I’ll aim to explore a number of concepts including:

 

  • Exponents, radicals, and rational exponents

  • Multiplying Polynomials of any size

  • Factoring Common Terms

  • Polynomial Factorization (with an emphasis on Quadratic factorization)

  • Solving Polynomials

  • Solving Rational Equations

​​

Course Dates

Classes run from 4:30 - 6:00 pm (Eastern) on the following dates:

  • Wed. 7/31

  • Fri. 8/2

  • Sat. 8/3

  • Mon. 8/5

  • Wed. 8/7​

  • Fri. 8/9


Note: This course is designed to take a purely algebraic approach, and does not intend to cover graphing.


Prerequisites: This class is meant for students who already have pre-algebra/algebra 1 understanding. Specifically, students who take this class should be comfortable with the material covered in Khan Academy’s Algebra 1 Course Units 1 through 5, and feel comfortable combining like terms (e.g. simplifying 3x²+4xy-5y²-11xy+x²-13y²).

Cryptology
(T, Th)

 A special offering! This highly-interactive Cryptology Class is taught by award winning gifted educator Matt Benet who will dynamically tailor the exact ciphers and content covered based on student interest and experience!

​

Note: Date-specific class content is subject to change based on student input and interest.

  • Tue 7/30: A Classic Cipher

  • Thu 8/1: A Transposition Cipher

  • Tue 8/5: A Creative Cipher

  • Thu 8/7:  A Highly Secure Cipher

The History of the Alphabet
(7/28)

You are reading this right now, which is pretty cool! Writing is a really powerful tool that lets us turn the sounds from our mouth into something more permanent. In this class, we’ll start at the origins of written language, and walk through the many steps it took to get from ancient rock carving to the 26 letters we know and love today.

Beyond Potatoes: How to Generate Electricity from Just about Anything
(8/4)

Have you ever asked yourself: What exactly *are* batteries, and how do they work? Could *I* make a battery? (yes); Can I really make a battery with a potato? (yes, but we will do better; potatoes aren’t special.) 

​

That’s right! edRev founder Matt Benet will teach you enough electrochemistry for you to create your own battery! From potatoes to tomatoes to saltwater to tofu, we’ll be trying many possible materials to explore what can be used to make a battery! We’ll try a myriad of household materials and different techniques to find what works and what doesn’t, and (more importantly), learn the *why* of it all! Along the way, we’ll see how these examples are explained by the laws of electrochemistry and can help us understand why they behave the way they do. If you’ve already taken AP Chemistry or an equivalent course much of this content may be a review, but feel free to still join and apply the concepts you know to exciting new experiments!

 

We’ll be experimenting with the principles behind electricity and batteries, and learning why your basic potato or lemon batteries barely scratch the surface! By the end of this, you’ll understand how you can replace the potato with virtually anything when making a battery! 

​

Prerequisites:

  • Participants should be comfortable working on an experiment for 30+ minutes amid potential setbacks

  • Participants should understand basic chemistry concepts: what atoms are, the components of an atom (electrons, protons and neutrons), chemical bonds (particularly ionic bonds and valence electrons), and what electricity is.
