Description: The America's Choice Ramp-Up Advanced Mathematics program takes students entering middle school two to three years behind in math and accelerates them to grade level concepts while filling the gaps from prior learning. The curriculum is designed with depth and focus, a clear and efficient path from arithmetic to algebra and a good background in geometry. The research-based curriculum includes skills and problem solving with an emphasis on a conceptual understanding of mathematics. The most important concepts are taught and carefully sequenced so that the foundations for advanced mathematics are firmly built. Each topic is taught in sufficient depth so that it need not be taught again.
Notes: Includes index.

Grade 8.
