Math placement is determined by district guidelines, proficiency scores, and your current math teacher.
Prerequisite – District placement guidelines - 1 unit
The seventh-grade mathematics program focuses on preparing students for the future using concepts outlined in the 7th-grade Kansas College and Career Ready Standards. Students will develop fluency in the areas of proportionality, operations with rational numbers, and linear expressions and equations. Students solve geometric problems involving area, volume and angle relationships, extend understanding of statistical analysis, and explore concepts of probability. Students will solve problems, create models, and make inferences to better develop and demonstrate their understanding of the concepts.
Prerequisite – District placement guidelines - 1 unit
The Integrated Math 7 mathematics program focuses on problem- based learning to help students develop understanding and skills as they explore the problems individually, in a group, or with the entire class. The students should be prepared to work independently and use mathematical thinking to solve real-world problems. The teacher will be a facilitator of learning for the students in this course. Students will develop fluency in the areas of proportionality, operations with rational and irrational numbers, and linear expressions and equations. Students solve geometric problems involving transformations, area, volume and angle relationships, extend understanding of statistical analysis and introduce concepts of probability. The course incorporates all 7th grade Kansas College and Career Ready Standards and is supplemented with approximately half of the 8th grade Kansas College and Career Ready Standards. This course will move at an accelerated rate in order to address 1.5 years of content in a single year.
Prerequisite – District placement guidelines - 1 unit
The eighth-grade mathematics program focuses on preparing students for the future using concepts outlined in the 8th grade Kansas College and Career Ready Standards. Students will use modeling and application to solve problems dealing with linear equations, functions, two- and three-dimensional shapes and the Pythagorean Theorem.
Prerequisite – Integrated Math 7
The Algebra program in the middle school focuses on the concepts covered in the high school Algebra I course to develop strong mathematical skills in students so that they are prepared for the future. Students in this course will investigate the concept of functions in a variety of forms, model both linear and nonlinear situations algebraically, and increase mastery of linear equations while exploring quadratic and exponential functions as well. Students will also explore the applications of the Pythagorean Theorem and further their understanding of statistics. This fast paced, skills-rich course incorporates both the Algebra I and the 8th grade Kansas College and Career Ready Standards. This course will move at an accelerated rate in order to address the 1.5 years of content in a single year.
