Course 3 8th Grade Math
The purpose of this course is to prepare students to take Algebra 1. Students will study 3 to 4 major topics per trimester. The first trimester students learn about mathematical procedures; the order of operations, solving equations and working with exponents. During the second trimester, students study percents, ratios and proportions and 3-dimensional geometry. Finally, during the third trimester students study probability and counting methods; and linear functions.

Algebra 1
Students in this class are learning a traditional algebra 1 curriculum. Students spend the first trimester being introduced to basic algebraic ideas; working with real numbers, solving multi-step equations and thinking proportionally. During the second trimester students begin the study of functions. The topics covered this trimester include: linear functions, absolute value functions, inequalities and systems of linear equations. Then to wrap things up, students will study exponential, polynomial and quadratic functions.

Course 2 7th Grade Math
This is a typical middle school math curriculum. Students will study 3 to 4 major topics during each trimester. The first trimester is spent studying data and statistics; the properties of exponents; and working with integers. Then during the second trimester, students work with rational numbers, ratio and proportion and percents. We end the year with probability, 2-dimensional geometry, measurement and solving equations.

Course 3 Accelerated 7th Grade Math
This class is designed to prepare students to take algebra 1 as 8th graders. Because of this, students need to complete a 7th grade AND an 8th grade curriculum. This course takes the most important topics covered in 7th grade and 8th grade and teaches them to the class. We spend the first trimester studying an introduction to algebra; the real numbers; the properties of exponents; and the rational numbers. During the second trimester we move onto data and statistics, geometry, ratio and proportion and percents. We wrap up the year by studying probability and counting methods and solving equations.
