Pre-Algebra

Pre-Algebra 1A
Pre-Algebra 1A is the first semester of a two-semester course designed to teach students fundamental mathematics concepts necessary for studying algebra. Students develop an understanding of integers, expressions, operations, and scientific notation by applying them in practical situations. Students will also learn to solve equations and inequalities, simplify expressions with fractions, and develop an understanding of exponents. The course makes extensive use of interactive multimedia components that combine text, audio, and video, and "Exploring Careers" module provide students with information about math-related careers.
Scope and Sequence

Pre-Algebra 1B
Pre-Algebra 1B is a continuation of Pre-Algebra 1A. It provides an opportunity for students to learn additional fundamental mathematical concepts using an interactive, problem-based approach. Students develop an understanding of ratios, proportions, and percents; the Cartesian coordinate system, applying algebra to right triangles, and the Pythagorean theorem. Students will also learn about measurement, area, and volume, and develop an understanding of statistics, data analysis, and probability. Students can interact with their teacher and classmates through topic-driven discussion groups, and by completing application activities, they learn the practical value of the concepts presented in the course.
