Course Description
|
Math 8 is basically a fundamental Pre Algebra course. This course will hopefully prepare the student for Algebra I at the high school level. Emphasis will be placed on rational numbers, problem solving, and techniques used to solve various equations.
Calculators will be checked out to students at the beginning of the second semester when they have had a chance to master rational numbers on their own. Until then, please encourage your children not to use calculators at home except to check their work. |
