Students then begin an introduction to Algebra to prepare them for the Grade 8 curriculum. The Pre-Algebra work covers integers, simple equations, formulas, inequalities, and graphing. Some 8 and 9 grade students, covers a comprehensive curriculum which lays the foundation for higher level mathematics. Included is the study of integers, rational numbers, equations, inequalities, polynomials, factoring, functions, graphing , lines, slopes, statistics, and quadratics.
Geometry is taught at two levels.
One is called College Geometry which is primarily taught using the Holt text. The upper level, Honors Geometry , requires the student to make extensive algebraic applications to geometric problems. This is taught using the Jurginsen text. Both sections deemphasize the use of formal two column proofs, replaced in large by justification of reasoning. These are graduation requirements.
