Math 8 B - Semester 2 (Credit: 0.50)

8th Grade Math or Pre-Algebra B will continue to move students into the exciting world of the unknown, Algebra. Building on what they have learned in mathematics and Pre-Algebra, students will expand their skills. They will be introduced to increasingly abstract concepts. The course will provide the student with a concrete understanding of the basics for algebraic thinking. With numerous hands on activities and demonstration videos, they will have multiple opportunities to enhance their process solving skills. Students will be given different assessment opportunities to demonstrate mastery of each skill. The course is offered in a six-week format containing 30 lessons. Students will study text pages, watch videos, interact with flash presentations, and complete practice problems. Each lesson has links to live sessions where teachers will help the student understand the concepts and processes presented. The pace is controlled by the student and reviewing the material is encouraged.
