Math 6
Semester A - Students begin the first semester of this course with a review of how to use basic arithmetic operations with whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals. More complex concepts are built on these basics. Students learn how to express, work with, and solve problems using percentages. They also learn the similarities and differences between ratios, rates, and proportions. They apply these ideas to solving problems involving measurement. This semester ends with an introduction to integers, and how to perform operations on this number set.
Semester B - In the second semester of grade 6 Math online course, we introduce students to expressions, equations, and inequalities. They learn how to simplify, solve, and plot both solutions and solution sets on a number line. Building on these concepts, students are then introduced to the coordinate plane and linear equations. Students then learn how to apply what they’ve learned so far to geometric concepts like perimeter, area, and volume. An exploration of statistical concepts concludes the second semester.
Math 7
Semester A - In this first semester of grade 7 math online course, students work with problem-solving skills, beginning algebra skills, geometry, decimals, fractions, data analysis, number theory and patterns, percents, and integer use. Projects measure the student’s ability to integrate and apply the course objectives.
Semester B - In this continuation of the first semester, students work with fractions; unit conversions; proportions and rates; percents; geometry topics including lines, angles, polygons, polyhedrons, perimeter, area, surface area, volume, and transformations; squares and square roots; permutations and combinations; and probability. Real-life application of concepts is emphasized in all units.
Math 8
Semester A - The first semester of grade 8 Math online course will help students move from the world of simple mathematics to the exciting world of Algebra and Geometry and will provide them with a concrete understanding of the basics for algebraic thinking. Students will develop a deeper understanding of the math concepts they have already learned and will stretch their thinking by solving real world problems.
Algebra I
The course reviews and extends problem-solving, data analysis, the use of technology (i.e., scientific calculator, graphing calculator, computer), the theory, use and understanding of the fundamental operations on real numbers, expressing quantitative statements in the language of algebra, solving equations and inequalities, polynomials, the use of rational expressions in equations, coordinate graphing, irrational numbers, solution of quadratic equations and related applications.
