Teacher Recommendation
Fundamentals of Algebra (On-Level Math) - The Fundamentals of Algebra I Course will focus on giving students a thorough understanding of the basic concepts in algebra. The objective is to prepare them with confidence to undertake further studies in algebra and geometry at the secondary level.
*Students placed in the Fundamentals of Algebra I program have not met the criteria set for the Honors Math Program.
Our goal is to help our students succeed in math. It is important to continue to work on this and we will. It is our intention that tracking the Algebra I instruction at the middle school level will better prepare our students for math at the secondary level.
