Math Classes
7th Grade Math
This is an overall general course designed with the average
student in mind. Students will review and then build upon
their knowledge and skill of general math concepts and computations.
7th Grade Accelerated Pre-Algebra
This class is designed for those students who are working
at an accelerated pace and who have consistently scored
high on the Stanford Achievement Test. It is a very rigorous
course designed to fully prepare students for Algebra and/or
Applied Math in the eighth grade. Students must be able
to understand and perform all operations on whole numbers,
fractions, and decimals as a prerequisite to this class.
8th Grade Pre-Algebra
This course is for those Eighth Graders who have a general
knowledge of mathematical computations and concepts. The
course is designed for the average 8th Grade student. Students
will solve equations and will understand proportions using
integers and rational numbers. Pre-Algebra is a prerequisite
for Algebra 1.
8th Grade Algebra 1
Also known as elementary algebra, this course is for Eighth
Grade students who have completed the seventh grade accelerated
mathematics program with a B average and have been recommended
by their seventh grade mathematics teacher. This is a rigorous
course. The concepts will include linear equations, inequalities,
polynomials, systems of linear equations, and irrational
and real numbers. Those students who successfully complete
this course will continue on into geometry.
9th Grade Algebra 1
This is an Elementary algebra course that is designed for
the average Freshmen student who has completed eighth grade
pre-algebra. Students will solve linear equations, factor
polynomials, and graph the numbers of the real number system.
Algebra 1 is a prerequisite for geometry.
9th Grade Applied Algebra 1
This is a rigorous elementary algebra course for Freshmen
students who have completed pre- algebra with a B average
or better, and have teacher approval. The concepts will
include linear equations, inequalities, polynomials, systems
of linear equations, irrational and real numbers. Those
students who successfully complete this course will continue
on into geometry.
Geometry
This accelerated course emphasizes the mathematical principles
of physical objects encountered in everyday living. The
properties of geometric figures such as triangles, rectangles,
parallelograms, trapezoids, and circles are studied using
basic Euclidean theorems and postulates. Also, formal logic
and mathematical reasoning are introduced in this course.
Students must have successfully completed Algebra 1 with
a B average and have teacher approval.
