Math 8: Pre-Algebra
Course Description
While reviewing and building on the arithmetic skills of traditional math curricula, Pre-Algebra furthers math understanding by delving into number theory and integers, opening the world of negative numbers and algebraic expressions. Early introduction to the concept of the variable eases the transition from arithmetic to algebra. In addition to discussing statistics and probability, square roots and special triangles, and graphing functions, Pre-Algebra incorporates consumer-related application of math principles to everyday life.
