Mathematics builds upon itself; without a firm grasp of lower-level mathematics, the higher concepts become a lot harder than they need to be. Starting with Pre-Algebra, this foundation is formed and carries on through college Algebra. This class will help students master those foundational concepts that will help them succeed in high school-level math and beyond. This course will guide students through many types of numbers and operations, focusing on how math can be applied to our everyday lives.
During the in-class portion of the course, the teacher will be providing dynamic instructions on new topics and give students opportunities to practice and master problems.
This course uses Aleks Math, allowing students to work at their own pace while doing independent work yet ensuring they move through the entire curriculum by the end of the year.
Aleks math provides "Knowledge Checks" which periodically evaluates the student's comprehension. Knowledge checks also identify gaps in students' knowledge from foundational topics and provide instruction in those specific areas to keep students from falling behind. Aleks, in conjunction with a dedicated teacher, allows students to practice known concepts and learn new topics confidently.
Students must be in the habit of bringing paper and pencils to write down their work. It will be helpful for them in later topics and for review.
Recommended track for mastering skills (focus on 7th grade standards)
