Pre-Algebra (Accelerated)
This is a challenging and rigorous course offered to those students who have demonstrated an advanced proficiency in mathematics in sixth grade. The material covered in the accelerated course is presented at a faster pace with the expectation that the students have retained their advanced skills and can perform with greater proficiency and on their own. The accelerated course focuses on using the order of operation principles, solving equations and inequalities, applying rational numbers and integers to real life problems, relating rates, proportions, and percents, developing spatial thinking skills and exploring linear functions. A course grade of 85% in the 6th grade advanced course is recommended.
