Advancing Mathematics for Young People:
Opportunity for homeschoolers

We will continue our learning of arithmetic with a theme of conic sections! Beginning July 14th, I will meet with students to continue exploring arithmetic. This July/August session will have a conic sections theme. Planned activities include:

• Making a cone, and drawing sections of the cone directly on the cone.
• Drawing ellipses with a special tool
• Using a toy catapult to explain parabolas

Sessions will also cover targeted arithmetic instruction. Currently, newer students are reviewing addition. Some students are learning multi-digit multiplication. Other ideas, such as division, will be discussed.

Other activities will be planned based on student response to the original activities. I encourage creativity!
