What Students Can Look Forward To
In advanced math students will be appropriately challenged by incorporating above grade level skills with skills from their current grade level. To delve deeper into the content, students will explore real world applications and apply their math knowledge. They will be assigned independent practice problems as well as projects to demonstrate their knowledge of the various standards covered throughout the course. Students will also participate in multiple review activities to ensure they fully understand the concepts. This course is designed to accelerate and advance students’ math knowledge.
