Math 7

The Grade 7 Math curriculum is based on the NYS Common Core State Standards for Grade 7. This course focuses on problem-solving with rates, ratios, and proportional relationships. Students will apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers; use properties of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers; use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions and solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations. Topics will also include the study of geometry, probability and statistics. Students take the NYS Grade 7 Math Assessment.

Pre-Algebra

The Pre-Algebra Math curriculum is based on the NYS Common Core State Standards for Grade 8. This pre-algebra course focuses working with expressions, solving equations and systems of equations; exponents, radicals and functions. Students will examine Geometry concepts of congruence, similarity and transformations. Students take the NYS Grade 8 Math Assessment.

STEAM

This elective math course aims to strengthen and enhance student’s critical thinking skills and recognize the intersection of art, science, technology, engineering, and math. This

course will provide an opportunity for students to engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process.

Students will engage in various hands-on projects including creating board games, design challenges, creating marketing plans, coding, engineering projects and so much more!

Algebra

ALGEBRA 1 The course formalizes and deepens the understanding of linear, quadratic and exponential functions. Students engage in modeling and problem solving with linear, exponential and quadratic functions. Descriptive statistics is introduced and students interpret, analyze and apply linear models to data. In this course students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to solve problems they encounter in the real world. Students will become fluent in solving characteristic problems involving the analytic geometry of lines, adding, subtracting and multiplying polynomials; transforming expressions, factoring, completing the square, and other algebraic calculations. Students will take the Algebra Regents in June.

Intermediate Algebra

Topics in Math: Through the branches of Algebra and Geometry, students will utilize mathematical skills and concepts to apply critical thinking and problem solving to real-world applications. Some topics include: equations and inequalities, quadratic and exponential applications, trigonometry and logic and reasoning. Topics of Math focuses on skills that students will utilize in their post graduate goals.
