Algebra

2 Summer Boot Camp

My name is Lisa Dean. I live in downtown Brighton and have two
daughters; one graduated from Brighton High School in 2017, and one is a
junior at BHS. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a
degree in Mathematics and Computer Science; and earned a Masters from
Eastern Michigan University in Curriculum Development. I have been

teaching since 1992 for Farmington Public Schools, specializing in Honors
Algebra 2, Intermediate Algebra 2, Algebra 1, and Honors Geometry. I retired from
teaching in December of 2017, but still love teaching and currently tutor several local
students in SAT prep, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Algebra 1.


What: The Algebra 2 Boot Camp (A2BC) is a series of summer math workshops
designed to review and reinforce critical concepts and skills necessary for success in
Algebra 2. It will help students solidify their knowledge and skills to help them
transition back into algebra after tackling geometry.


Why: Students need a strong foundation in Algebra 1 in order for them to be successful
in Algebra 2. Not only do students struggle with Algebra 1, but they also take Geometry
before taking Algebra 2. This results in a long period of time students are not using most
of the Algebra 1 skills they learned. Reviewing these concepts will help them become
more successful in Algebra 2.


Who: Students entering Algebra 2 for the upcoming school year.


How: Students will meet 1 hour and 15 minutes, for 8 sessions. As the instructor, I will
build upon their knowledge of Algebra 1, reviewing topics that reflect some of the
common errors made in Algebra 2.


Where: Studio West, 111 S. Street, Brighton (behind “The Pound” in downtown
Brighton)


Attendance: If a student misses a workshop, they will still receive the worksheets
containing the information that we reviewed/covered during their absence. Each
workshop is independent from the next so they will not be behind upon their return.


 What to Bring: Pencil, Spiral Notebook, Calculator (preferable a trig calculator –
graphing calculator is even better). A trig calculator has the TAN, COS, SIN buttons on it.
