Most colleges and several technical schools require students to complete a full year of a geometry course and some are requiring a second year of algebra. Students successfully completing two courses in any of the following sequences will satisfy the state and Slinger High School graduation requirements but may not satisfy some college entrance requirements. This course is designed for students with minimal math skills and understanding. Variables are used as pattern generalizer, abbreviations in formulas, and unknowns in problems, and are represented on the number line and graphed in the coordinate plane. Basic arithmetic and algebraic skills are connected to corresponding geometry topics.
Reading is emphasized throughout.
Every lesson has reading and contains questions covering that reading. This course is designed for students of average math skills. Daily objectives are set. Various activities are included to enhance student participation. Note taking is required as well as completion of daily assignments.
