As a General Math course, Math 7 emphasizes solving problems involving
consumer application and proportional reasoning. The students will gain an understanding
of the properties of real numbers, solve linear equations and inequalities,
and use data analysis techniques to make inferences and predictions. Students
will also identify real-life applications of the mathematical principles they
are learning that can be applied to science and other disciplines they are
studying.

Transitional
Math - As a Pre-Algebra course, Transitional Math is designed to review and
extend concepts and skills learned in previous math classes, and to present
new content that prepares students for more abstract concepts in
Algebra.

Geometry/Algebra I
- These high school credit courses are taught with the pacing and work-load
of the same course taught at the high school. The courses are designed to
include a greater emphasis on conceptual understanding, on algebra as a
means of representation, and on algebraic methods as a problem-solving
tool. Algebra is the language through which most mathematics is
communicated. It also provides a means of operating with concepts at an
abstract level and then applying them-- a process that often fosters
generalizations and insights beyond the original context. This more
sophisticated understanding of algebraic representations is a prerequisite
to further formal work in virtually all mathematical subjects. When
considering Algebra I in seventh grade, consideration should be given to
the student's cognitive level and readiness for dealing with abstract
concepts.
