UNWIND it’s Summer! ENTERING GRADES 1 – 10 TECHNOLOGY Minecraft® University Minecraft® needs no introduction. It has become a cultural phenomenon with over 23 million copies sold, and if you play yourself, you know how much time this game can consume. The game mechanics, however, are incredibly analogous to engineering and require coding skills. These skills are learned as you spend time within the game itself. In Minecraft University, we will use the game as a tool to focus on problem solving and programming techniques. We will also use Scratch, a visual programming language designed by MIT, to enhance the lessons of programming. Programming in Minecraft teaches you to think logically and introduces you to the inner world of computing. Camps are offered on a graduated basis, with the skills being taught advancing from the basics of the program through programming and quantum physics, with a dip into Java. You will be provided a coursework book and access to a campers-only whitelisted server for one year. Campers must have an account with www.minecraft.net.

Some electives will result in additional fees, which are listed in the class descriptions. Lunch is included in the tuition for the full-day program.

MATH Middle School Math Series (Grades 5–6): This class is developed with fifth and sixth graders in mind. The primary focus of this series is competency with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Students will be exposed to challenging problems based on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Teachers will use a variety of methods to keep this course fun, including problem solving, games, computer applications, and real-life situations. Students will be assessed on the first day of class to tailor the class to each child’s specific needs. Sessions are two weeks in length but can be progressive, so participation in multiple sessions will provide further in-depth instruction in these topics. Pre-Algebra Series (Grades 6–8): This course is designed for students who will be taking pre-algebra in the coming year. Proficiency with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals is required. Students will extend their skills in these areas to include applications involving negative numbers and variables. Additional topics could include variables and expressions; equations and word problems; ratio, proportion and percent; and geometry. Students will be assessed on the first day of class to ensure that each child is challenged at the best level. This course is appropriate

WWW.HOCKADAY.ORG/SUMMER

for students entering Hockaday’s Integrated Math I course. Each session is two weeks in length but can be progressive, so participation in multiple sessions will provide further in-depth instruction and a great head start on the upcoming school year. Algebra and Beyond Series (Grades 8–10): This course is designed for students who have successfully completed a pre-algebra course and will be enrolled in an Algebra I, Geometry, or Algebra II course in the fall. This course is also appropriate for students entering Hockaday’s Integrated Math II and Integrated Math III courses. Students must be proficient and fluent with negative numbers to be successful in this course. Course topics may include variables and expressions; simplifying polynomials; equation solving; graphing linear equations; factoring; solving quadratic equations; simplifying radicals; word problems; and more. Students will be assessed on the first day of class to determine the best level of challenge needed. This is a great way to get ahead in Algebra I or to review Algebra I topics before taking more rigorous math courses. Enroll in multiple two-week sessions to strengthen skills and understanding of these abstract algebraic topics. Students are encouraged to register for multiple sessions as instruction will be progressive in nature. Your number sense will improve after spending up to six weeks in our brand new Summer Math Institute!

WRITING Writing modules will include a thematic approach to writing, drawing from a variety of sources, such as myths, poems, legends, and more. Short works will be analyzed to identify theme, structure, punctuation, diction, and figurative language. Going beyond analysis into creation, students will brainstorm and create original works. A variety of writing techniques will be utilized as students create scripts, news articles, book reviews, and more. Students will respond to pieces through prose and/or poetry and create an original piece for peer review. Through the use of art, poetry, literature, current events and more, students will review and strengthen writing processes and skills. While the themes for each grade level might be the same, the depth to which the course is taught will vary according to grade level to achieve grade-appropriate instruction and challenge. Students are encouraged to register for multiple sessions as instruction will be progressive in nature. Imagine what writing skills you will gain after spending up to six weeks in our brand new Summer Writing Institute!

Design and then create structures ranging from houses to bridges and aqueducts. Finish by taking ideas from multiple sources and combining them into your own unique structure. Coach Stewart Ball: Minecraft® University: Basic Physics and Minecraft Minecraft® University Minecraft® needs no introduction. It has become a cultural phenomenon with over 23 million copies sold, and if you play yourself, you know how much time this game can consume. The game mechanics, however, are incredibly analogous to engineering and require coding skills. These skills are learned as you spend time within the game itself. In Minecraft University, we will use the game as a tool to focus on problem solving and programming techniques. We will also use Scratch, a visual programming language designed by MIT, to enhance the lessons of programming. Programming in Minecraft teaches you to think logically and introduces you to the inner world of computing. Camps are offered on a graduated basis, with the skills being taught advancing from the basics of the program through programming and quantum physics, with a dip into Java. You will be provided a coursework book and access to a campers-only whitelisted server for one year. Campers must have an account with www.minecraft.net.
