Materials will need to be purchased before class. See the instructor for information if you have not received an informational letter. Students will be graded on their own ability level and not compared to those who have had previous experience. If you compete in the DuPage County Fair, this would be a great opportunity for you to gain some experience and display your work. Students study measurement, the metric system, word problems, ratios, and percentages.
Students also study equation solving, problem solving, probability and estimation.
Students take part in a variety of projects designed to apply basic mathematical concepts to the real world. Geometric shapes, such as angles, triangles, and rectangles are discussed. This course will prepare students for Algebra One and Geometry. The course is designed for students who need reinforcement in estimation, computation, and basic measurement skills. This is the first course in the traditional mathematics sequence.
