Grade 8
MathematicS

Mathematics 8 (pre-algebra) is a course for eighth grade students that extends concepts and skills from previous grades and prepares students for the more abstract concepts in algebra. The course focuses on the development of problem-solving skills and the acquisition of mathematical vocabulary and symbols. Facility in the use of technology will not be a substitute for students' understanding of quantitative concepts and proficiency in basic computations. 

Algebra I Honors is a mathematics course for students who exhibit high mathematical ability and achievement. The course is designed to prepare students for Scientific, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The course focuses on the development of problem-solving skills and the acquisition of mathematical vocabulary and symbols. Facility in the use of technology will not be a substitute for students' understanding of quantitative concepts and proficiency in computations. This is a high school credit class, and students enrolled in this course will take the Algebra I End-of-Course test.

Geometry Honors is a mathematics course for students who exhibit high mathematical ability and achievement. The course is designed to prepare students for Scientific, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The course focuses on the development of problem-solving skills and the acquisition of mathematical vocabulary and symbols. Students will gain an appreciation of the structure of geometry and develop powers of spatial visualization. This is a high school credit class, and students enrolled in this course may need to take the Geometry End-of-Course test. Students cannot receive credit for both Geometry Honors (MA3225) and Geometry (MA3232).

**Pre-Requisite: Algebra I or Algebra I Honors
