Topics in math

This course is an introduction to basic algebra concepts and a review of prior learning from mathematical concepts that are essential components to more advanced math topics. The course is designed to help students build math confidence in preparation for Algebra 1 and Geometry. The course will place an emphasis on Number Sense with focus on integers, order of operations,

variables, expressions, and equations. The course will support students in developing good mathematical study skills and learning strategies. Many different approaches (foldables, expression mats, student interactive notebooks) and manipulatives will be used in this learning. Throughout the course students will be reviewing prior knowledge that leads to a final cumulative exam.
