In order to make the correct choice, each student should check grades from eighth grade math classes. If the student has successfully completed Algebra I with a minimum of a B- average, begin with Geometry. Students will continue to work on whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents as well as problem-solving and applications. Introductory Mathematics Math Topics is designed for the non-college bound student wishing to improve their math skills. This course will blend basic concepts from Algebra I and Geometry.
Abstract math is introduced.
The course is designed to help students attain a mastery in the use of formulas and equations, and to develop techniques in problem solving. Real numbers, solving equations, inequalities, graphing relations, exponents, factoring, polynomials, and rational expressions are covered. Topics included in this course are undefined terms, two-column proofs, parallel lines, congruent triangles, properties of right triangles, and circles. This course will help students develop and refine job-related math skills. The course will focus on arithmetic operations, problem-solving techniques, estimation of answers, measurement skills, algebra, geometry, data handling, and statistics.
