Pre-Algebra serves as a steppingstone to Algebra I and Integrated Math courses. Students will practice solving basic equations, work with fractions, decimals, and percents. Incoming Freshman usually take either Pre-Algebra or Algebra. The students will be able to solve algebraic problems by writing equations and using charts and diagrams to help solve the problems. Students planning on taking Geometry or Algebra II must have Algebra I first.
Some theory is included in classroom discussion.
Upon completion of the course, students should be prepared for algebra in a post-high school situation. Proficiency in algebra is helpful. The primary goal is to teach students to think logically through mathematical reasoning. Proof of geometric properties is emphasized. I is a prerequisite.
