Course Description:
The focus of the course is on properties of numbers, value, number sense, computation, and use of variables in expressions and equations. The students will solve problems using various methods, which will lead to the solving of variable expressions and graphing solutions. Using Algebra to solve problems is part of the course.
Textbooks and Materials:
Prentice Hall Mathematics, Pre-Algebra, (2010)
Textbooks will be assigned to students. Online text and resources are also available.
Units/Course of Study:
Number Sense: operations with real numbers, GCF, LCM, estimation, computation, percentages, ratios and proportions, absolute value, and scientific notation
Geometry: parallel lines, transversals and related angles, interior angles of triangle, scale factors, surface area, Pythagorean theorem, relationships of perimeter, area, and volume
Data/Probability: box and whisker plots, measure of central tendency, circle graphs, box plots, complementary events, independent and compound events
Algebra: algebraic expressions and inequalities, one, two and multi-step variable equations and inequalities and slope
