***PRE-ALGEBRA
Pre-Algebra has 2 tracks. Students learn at different rates and this is OK! Please register your students based on their 'ability level' and not their 'grade level'.
Middle School Math Taught by Mrs. Perkins and using Lial's Basic College Math as a spine alongside teacher created materials, this course covers traditional middle-school math. It is important that students entering this class know their basic math facts and operations (including long multiplication and long division as well as fraction operations with common and uncommon denominators). Fractions, Decimals, Percents, basic Geometry formulas and problem solving strategies are among the topics covered. The end of the course offers an introduction to signed numbers and problems that include variables. This class leads directly into the Lial's Pre-Algebra class.
Prerequisite: Grade B or better in 6th grade math or equivalent.

Lial's Pre-Algebra (Pre-Algebra--honors level) Taught by Mrs. Perkins, this course bridges basic math with Algebra. Negative numbers and variables are introduced in the first chapters --the pace is fast and steady. Students MUST be proficient in fractions and middle school math.

ALGEBRA
Students learn by doing and by example. I have chosen the Developmental Math series by Margaret Lial for my Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 texts. The student texts offer clear, detailed examples in a non-cluttered format with ample practice problems and review. Student solutions manuals (show problems worked out step-by-step) are available but optional/not suggested.
Homework load is approximately 45 min to 1 hour per day 4-5 days per week.

SAlgebra 1: Taught by Mrs. Perkins this is the first level of high school Math. As a foundational course the focus will be on solving single and double variable equations and developing problem solving strategies. Students also learn problem organizing strategies.

Algebra 2: Taught by Mrs. Perkins this is a continuation of Algebra 1. Students are introduced to functions as basic algebraic concepts are expanded. Like the Algebra 1 course, there is a strong emphasis on problem solving, problem organization and algebraic thinking.
Prerequisites: Algebra 1 and Geometry -- (Grade of B or higher) or Instructor approval

Geometry:
Taught by Mrs. Perkins, this is a problem solving-based Geometry class. Traditional 2-column proofs are taught however, the emphasis is on the application and use of Geometric concepts. Algebra 1 skills will be used throughout the course. Students will also complete a fun 'hands-on' project each semester.
Honors supplements are available for students who thrive with challenge.
Prerequisite: Students must be proficient in Algebra 1 (Grade of B or higher)
Text used: Holt Geometry, by Dr Edward Burger (2007) ISBN 9780030358289
***The majority of students will take Geometry between Algebra 1 and Algebra 2-- this is the instructors preference as well. Geometry will use Algebra 1 concepts and the extra year of maturity will help them in Algebra 2.
