Fine Arts Foreign Lang. Health Language Arts Mathematics Physical Ed. 7 Pre-algebra will build on basic operations with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents. Students will solve equations, simplify expressions, and solve practical problems. Graphing and geometry will also be studied.
Emphasis is on problem solving, reasoning, and communication skills.
The second semester will highlight skills needed for algebra. This course is designed to provide a developmental approach to the building of algebraic concepts while introducing geometric connections. Learning will be through concrete activities and models. I expands upon algebraic concepts and integrates those principles with every day life. Students will use formulas, functions, and equations to describe and clarify relationships.
