PRE-ALGEBRA
Class Overview
Tuesday and Thursday 11:10-12:10
We will be utilizing the Math-U-See PreAlgebra curriculum for this year-long course. Pre-Algebra teaches basic rules of solving equations using the associative, commutative, and other properties. Simple operations with polynomials are demonstrated with place-value blocks for conceptual understanding before being taught conventionally. Geometry concepts include surface area, volume, and the Pythagorean theorem.
By the end of this course, students will be ready for Algebra 1.
This is a year-long course and qualifies for charter school reimbursements.
