- Advanced Algebra – An Honors Precalc and Honors Algebra Bridge Course
- Honors Geometry Bridge Course
- AP/Honors Chemistry Bridge Course
- Trigonometry: An Honors Precalc Bridge Course
- AP/Honors Physics Bridge Course
Based on enrollment, the classes will be held either at Woburn Memorial High School (88 Montvale Ave, Woburn, MA) or at Shine In Math Academy’s primary location in Burlington (281 Cambridge St #101 Burlington, MA).
Advanced Algebra – An Honors Precalc and Honors Algebra Bridge Course
Students will be introduced to functions that are the focus of pre-calculus including: linear, polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and exponential functions.
Students will graph functions, combine functions, interpret roots and find the maxima and minima of functions. They will apply their knowledge to model and to solve real-world applications.
Honors Geometry Bridge Course
This course is ideal for all High School students who will take either Honors or CP Geometry in Fall. The curriculum focuses on essential topics including reasoning and proof, properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, parallel and perpendicular lines, circles, polygons, indirect proofs, congruence, similarity, right triangles , trigonometry, and three-dimensional shapes.
AP/Honors Chemistry Bridge Course
This course is designed to equip students with strong foundation in Chemistry to understand college level chemistry. This is an ideal course for a student who will take on either AP Chemistry or Honors Chemistry in the upcoming school year.
The course topics include structure and bonding, intermolecular forces, chemical reactions, and chemical equilibrium.
Trigonometry
An Honors Precalc Bridge Course: This is an ideal course for any high school student who will take Honors Precalculus or regular Precalculus in the upcoming school year. This course covers topics required for pre-calculus, such as Trigonometry. Students will learn trigonometric functions and how to apply them to solve real-life problems, and will explore a number of topics from trigonometry including: triangle properties, radians, identities, solving complex equations, inverse functions, vectors, and the polar coordinate system. Students will learn the Law of Sines and Cosines and their applications.
AP/Honors Physics Bridge Course
This course is ideal for a student who will take on either AP Physics or Honors Physics in the upcoming school year. The course topics includes the following topics: measurement, motion in one direction, vectors, motion in two and three dimensions, forces and Laws of Motion, work and energy, momentum and collisions; circular motion and gravitation, fluid mechanics, heat, sound, light and reflection, and refraction.
