Math Program
If you want the personal connection of an excellent brick-and-mortar classroom combined with the flexibility of online learning for your student, choose this option. Our signature live online courses are the heart of the Williamsburg program, led by expert mentors who create a deep sense of community between students. Live courses include the following benefits:
In many live courses, we offer both a Classic and Honors format. Students in both versions meet in the same live class sessions, but students in Honors courses have about 30% more readings and assignments, including projects that are more challenging. Students are welcome to enroll in whichever version fits best for them and can switch within the first twenty-one days of the semester. Honors courses are not available in the self-paced format.
If your student works well independently or needs more flexibility to work around other
activities, our self-paced courses are an ideal option and provide a richer, more personal experience than many other asynchronous online courses. Self-paced courses include the following benefits:
In high school Math, Fine Arts, PE, and Electives, we offer independent courses so students can earn academic credit for learning from a third-party curriculum provider. Some students prefer alternative math programs; others put in long hours practicing musical instruments, competing on an athletic team, or participating in internships. Students can earn credit for these and other activities by enrolling in an Independent Studies course, provided they fulfill the course requirements (see the above course links for full details).
Why This Class
For your student, algebra opens the doors to all higher math learning and strengthens core critical thinking skills. Geometry gives them a grasp on logic that helps them navigate life’s changes with a level head. This course combines both subjects to give your student a lasting, well-rounded mastery of foundational high school math.
Mentors in this course guide students to refine their reasoning skills by applying algebraic concepts including geometric sequences and systems of equations and inequalities. Students also explore exponential vs. linear growth and decay, graphing functions, and data distribution tables and graphs. With the help of mentors and math tutors, students learn to take a systematic approach to problem-solving—beginning with what they know and moving step-by-step toward clear solutions.
Students emerge from this course not only with stronger math skills but also an expanded view of what it takes to think like a mathematician. As a result, they are more persistent problem solvers both in math and daily life.
Course Details
Recommended Grade: 9th (Freshman)
Prerequisites*: High School Math 1A
Estimated Weekly Hours: 5
Format: Live, self-paced, independent
Credits: 0.5
Note: This class is offered as both a Classic course and Honors course. Honors Math is for highly engaged students who like to think deeply and challenge themselves. Honors students will engage with a weekly project, reading, problem of the week, or research topic that will help them dive deeper into the subject and think more critically. These weekly WAM also provides students with an opportunity to explain their deep thinking and push past procedural math to a more complete, conceptual understanding.
