Seven Grade The Seventh grade pre-algebra curriculum provides students with the mathematical content for success in algebra as well as further practice with computational skills and practical applications. The course is designed to explore mathematics and the organized and systematic presentation of student work through problem solving and enrichment activities. Units of study for the Seventh grade include symbolic notation, mathematical properties, operations with integers and rational numbers, linear equations and graphs, proportions and percents, indirect numbers, square roots, probability and statistics, geometry and algebra. Additional units and projects are provided for enrichment. The Eighth grade algebra curriculum provides students with the mathematical content necessary to progress to either advanced algebra or geometry at the high school level.
Emphasis is placed on the logical thought process involved in solutions to problems.
The ability of the student to show in written form a series of steps to his or her solution is a focal point of the course and to their ultimate success in further math courses. Units of study for this grade level include the order of operations, linear and quadratic equations and their graphs, inequalities, operations with polynomials, factoring, functions, systems of equations, rational expressions, radicals, statistics and probability and right triangle trigonometry.
