Pre-Algebra

This class focuses on the concepts and skills fundamental to success in a first year Algebra class.  Emphasis is on proportional relationships, solving equations and inequalities, linear functions and graphing, spatial relationships and geometry.

Text:       Pre-Algebra, Prentice Hall

Algebra 1

This class covers first year Algebra concepts with an emphasis on applications to practical word problems.  Topics include equations, polynomials, rational expressions, functions, graphing, systems of open sentences, radical expressions and quadratics.

Text:       Algebra 1, Prentice Hall

Introduction to Algebra

This year long course covers in-depth the first half of the material in the Algebra 1 course.  Students who successfully complete Introduction to Algebra in 8^th grade will be ready to enroll in Algebra 1 in 9^th grade.

Text:       Algebra 1, Prentice Hall

Geometry

This course develops the elements and theorems of Euclidean geometry. Topics from first-year Algebra are applied and extended in the study of one-, two-, and three-dimensional geometric figures. Students will analyze geometric elements and shapes, apply properties of geometric figures, and develop skills with coordinate geometry. The geometric concepts studied in this course will be applied to situations in the physical world.
