Our primary goal is to prepare students for the successful study of high school algebra and geometry. We use the Saxon program and supplement it with the appropriate use of manipulatives, computer technology and project work - all designed to promote confidence in numeracy, problem solving and the use of technology. Sixth graders are exposed to a foundational program that remediates, strengthens and maintains arithmetic skills. Students are also exposed to foundational topics of geometry, measurement, algebra and probability. The sixth grade text supports mastery of concepts and skills through incremental learning and daily review.
Seventh graders study pre-algebra mathematics.
This is a transitional mathematics program designed to automate the upper level skills of arithmetic while introducing abstract concepts. The program contains the concepts and skills necessary for the study of algebra. This is a one or two year course for middle school students. Seventh graders who successfully complete the full course indicate a readiness for Algebra 1 in the eight grade. This ensures that all our students are provided every opportunity for success in algebra.
