MS Mathematics

Math 06:
The basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals will be studied with an emphasis on using these skills to solve problems in the real world. Students will utilize different problem solving techniques that include collecting, organizing, and interpreting data, making charts and tables, graphing, estimation, judging the reasonableness of an answer, use of technology when appropriate, finding a pattern, and writing an equality or inequality to represent the problem. Geometrical concepts and their use in the real world will be addressed.

PreAlgebra:
In PreAlgebra, students will build on the concepts learned in sixth grade to prepare students for Algebra I next year. Fluency in adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers is essential to success this year. The main topics covered will be equations, inequalities, functions, two and three dimensional geometry, proportional relationships, geometric transformations, and angle relationships.

Algebra 1:
In Algebra I the fundamental purpose of this course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. Instruction will focus on five critical areas: (1) analyze and explain the process of solving equations and inequalities: (2) learn function notation and develop the concepts of domain and range; (3) use regression techniques; (4) create quadratic and exponential expressions; and (5) select from among these functions to model phenomena.
