Math 65

6th – 8th Grades
Monday: 8:30 am – 10:00 am

Mrs. Meier

Math 65 is a good transition from elementary arithmetic classes to junior high level maths.  It solidifies concepts in number sense, division, fractions, decimals, percents, roots, powers, and simple geometry.  The class will “camp out” on trouble spots if necessary and make sure students have understanding before moving on to the next math skill.  Homework will cover newly learned topics, as well as practice from previous lessons, so students do not forget but rather keep their skills sharp.

Math 7/6

6th – 8th Grades
Monday: 8:30 am – 10:00 am

Mrs. Meier

Give your thinking skills a good workout!  This class builds on the arithmetic foundation of elementary school to transition to Pre-Algebra.  It covers concepts and skills students need for success, such as negative numbers, decimals, fractions, percents, probability, measurement, perimeter, area, volume, basic geometry, unit conversion, angles, coordinates, graphs, and introductory algebra.  We will use Saxon Math 76, which provides frequent review, in order to practice and retain new concepts. Placement test may be required.

Pre-Algebra

7th – 9th Grades
Monday: 8:30 am – 10:00 am

Mrs. Howe

The skills you learn in this class, using the textbook Saxon Algebra 1/2, will set the foundation for all future maths.  Topics covered include absolute value, like terms, basic geometry, exponents, work problems, inequalities, square roots, solving single and multi-variable equations, polynomials, graphing, scientific notation, basic geometry, quadratic equations, and much more.  Grades 7-9, must have successfully completed 7th Grade Math.

Algebra I

8th – 10th Grades
Monday: 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Mrs. Meier

Although you might not think so at first, algebra is used all around us.  The skills you learn in this high school credit class, using the textbook Saxon Algebra I, will help you for the rest of your life.  Topics covered include absolute value, like terms, introductory geometry, exponents, work problems, inequalities, square roots, solving single and multi-variable equations, polynomials, graphing, scientific notation, quadratic equations, and much more.  Must have successfully completed Pre-Algebra or 8th Grade Math.

Algebra II

10th – 12th Grades
Monday: 8:30 am – 10:00 am

Mr. Metz

The high school plans of educated students should definitely include Algebra II.  This course takes the basic concepts learned in Algebra I and applies them to a myriad of applications.  In fact, Algebra II teaches the skills needed for high school Physics and almost all college science courses.  Topics covered include solving systems of equations, radicals, advanced graphing, rates, circles, chemistry problems, uniform motion, force vectors, complex numbers, variable relationships, exponential equations, logarithms, permutations, statistics, probability, and much more.  Grades 10-12, must have completed Algebra I.
