Students learn to solve problems, increase computational competence, and build critical thinking skills.
Whole numbers and Exponents, understanding variables and Expressions, Equations, Decimals, Fractions, Collect and Display Data, Plane Geometry, Ratio, Percents, Integers, Measurements, Probability.
In each subject, beginning Algebra concepts are integrated.
Pre-Algebra
In Pre-Algebra we will be working on many concepts that are a review of last year and also new concepts that will follow the students on through the rest of their math careers. We will be working on integers, exponents, rational and real numbers, how to collect, display and analyze data, plane geometry, perimeter, area and volume, ratios and similarity, percents, probability, inequalities, graphing lines, sequences and functions, and polynomials.
We will be working on creating a Math Wiki Website throughout the year. This will consist of different formulas, equations, geometry theorems and properties that the students can find in one place. There will also be video demonstrations by students to help other students with difficult lessons – just to name a few ideas.
Algebra
In Algebra we will be working on many concepts that are a review of last year and also new concepts that will follow the students on through the rest of their math careers. We will be working on patterns and operations in algebra, equations, proportional reasoning and statistics, linear functions, inequalities and absolute values, systems of equations and inequalities, exponents and exponential functions, polynomials and factoring, quadratic functions, rational functions, radicalism, functions, and coordinate geometry, and probability.

Geometry
In Geometry we will be working on a review of basic Algebra concepts and new concepts that will follow the students on through the rest of their math careers. We will be working on reasoning in geometry, parallels and polygons, triangle congruence, perimeter and area, shapes in space, surface area and volume, similar shapes, circles, trigonometry, fractals, and proofs and logic.
