Cannon JHS

This course is designed to focus on four critical areas:

1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems;

2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers;

3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations; and

4) developing understanding of statistical thinking.

The use of manipulatives, mathematical tools, and technology, including calculators and computer software, are all integral parts of this course.
