Smith, TomaDescription:
Algebra 1/2 (Pre-Algebra) This course is the culmination of pre-algebra mathematics, a full pre-algebra course and an introduction to geometry and discrete mathematics. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, prime and composite numbers; fractions & decimals; order of operations, coordinates, exponents, square roots, ratios, algebraic phrases, probability, and the Pythagorean Theorem. Students will learn in small doses at their own pace while increasing retention of knowledge using an incremental approach to math. Students who have not previously enrolled in a math course at CEC are required to complete a $30 placement test. Students previously enrolled in CEC Math 8/7 classes need not take this placement test.
Supplies:
Three-ring binder with dividers, lined paper, graph paper, pencil, erasers, protractor, ruler and home computer with internet access and printing capabilities.
Teacher Notes:
