Skills taught and reviewed include basic computation of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, math for practical daily problems and math reasoning. Enrollment is only through evaluation and approval of the special services director. Students work with logical reasoning and exploring data, ratios and proportions, and measurement with basic geometry. Students continue an emphasis on operations with whole numbers, decimals, percents, fractions and integers. Students also work on communication in mathematics, visualizing patterns, spatial relationships, and probability.
Students study data, equations, linear and quadratic functions, and radicals.
Students are also introduced to connections between algebra, geometry and other subjects. This one-year course is designed to develop skills in visualizing spatial relationships, as well as to sharpen inductive and deductive reasoning abilities. Algebraic concepts are reviewed and concepts of area, volume and distance are covered. Connections to art, history and science are explored. Other topics include systems of equations, sequences and series, and analytical geometry.
