Pre-Algebra- Mr. Erickson

Pre-Algebra is a course designed to help students shift their mathematics thinking in perspective from just manipulative skills to a broader curriculum that is integrated and reflects the vital nature of mathematics. This course helps students transition from elementary mathematics to higher, more specialized math courses such as algebra and geometry.

Topics covered will include:

• Numeration
• Measurement
• Estimation & Computation
• Geometry
• Problem Solving & Mathematical Reasoning
• Probability & Statistics
• Functions & Relationships

Algebra 1- Mrs. Betterton

Students who take Algebra 1 are expected to have achieved a certain level of proficiency with basic arithmetic and to have acquired knowledge of the basics of pre-algebra. The students will be ready for the faster pace of Algebra 1 with the expectation that they will be able to solve more complex algebraic equations.

Students will attempt to master the following skills:

• Numeration & Fractions & Real Numbers,
• Order of Operations,
• Distributive Property
• Solving and Graphing Linear Equations,
• Ratios, Rates and Percents, Writing Inequalities
• Exponents and Scientific Notation,
• Working with Polynomials,
• Ratios and Proportions.
