Emphasis in this course will be on signed numbers, powers and roots, solving linear equations, graphing data, inequalities, and factoring. This course is designed for students whose math skills are significantly below grade level and who have an IEP, which specifies that specialized instruction is necessary in a small group setting. The course introduces the students to a selected number of traditional algebraic topics. Basic skills are reviewed and reinforced. Emphasis will be on problem-solving reflecting authentic life situations, measurement, ratios, proportions, and introductions to basic statistics and probability.
Emphasis is on mathematical theory in manipulating geometric concepts.
Topics include Euclidean proof, circles, area and volume of solids, coordinate and transformational geometry, parallelism, congruent and similar figures, and right triangle trigonometry. Topics covered are points, lines, planes, space, angles, triangles, congruence, similarity, perpendiculars, parallels, polygons, area, circles, right angle trigonometry, volume, coordinate geometry, and construction. This course is designed for the student whose math skills are below grade level. The course covers the traditional geometric topics, but provides only an introduction to them. This allows time to strengthen arithmetic skills.
