The course emphasizes mathematical structure, development of equations, solutions to equations, graphing, geometry, fractional numbers, decimal numbers, percents and integers. Review of computational skills is continuous throughout the year. Students are introduced to topics in number theory and they work with the metric system. Computers are used to enhance course work. Students are presented new concepts in a more abstract manner.
Enrollment is determined by the department, based upon background and current level of ability.
An Integrated Approach, Book 2, Heath, 1997. Work with positive and negative rational numbers and percents is stressed. Elementary geometry concepts are studied, emphasizing the metric system and the solving of geometric formulas. Number theory, graphing and word problems are also studied. Computers are utilized in the course.
