7th GRADE ACCELERATED MATH

Accelerated Math is offered for those students who have demonstrated a good working knowledge of the operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.  Student placement in this program is based on achievement, ability, placement scores, and teacher recommendation, as well as student attitude and motivation.  The curriculum includes the concepts of the regular eighth grade program. However, this course does not automatically place the student in, nor is it a prerequisite for Algebra 1.  This course provides the same fundamentals as the regular math course but at an accelerated pace.  The individual teacher will provide areas of enrichment involving these fundamentals.
