Grades: 9 - 12

• Pre-Algebra (Grades 6–8 Standards)

• This course is designed for students who demonstrate solid foundational math skills but are not yet ready for the pace or collaborative demands of a co-taught Algebra class. Students should enter with proficiency in place value, operations with whole numbers, fraction and decimal understanding, and basic proportional reasoning.

• Pre-Algebra focuses on strengthening number sense while introducing core Algebraic concepts such as expressions, equations, and integer operations. The course uses the Maneuvering the Middle curriculum to build conceptual understanding and procedural fluency.

• This course is not intended for students who require elementary-level math intervention or intensive remediation in foundational numeracy skills.

Grades: 11 - 12

• For those students who qualify in the area of Learning Strategies or Organization

• These students require additional support in reading, writing, math, and/or organization to support them in content areas. 

• On a individual basis, students can be recommended for Learning Strategies without qualifying based on a team decision.  

• ALL students would benefit from this class, unfortunately, we have to be selective with the numbers of team recommendations. 

• Counts as an elective credit.
