PRE-ALGEBRA

Class Introduction:

Pre-Algebra will be an exciting class for the 6th graders this year. This class should give students a general understanding of the major components of an algebra curriculum, including Patterns, Formulas and Percents, Measurement, Ratios, Data Analysis, Signed Numbers, Geometry, Real Numbers, Number Theory, and Problem Solving. Most of these are concepts students touched upon in Elementary school using Go Math! In this class we will explore topics further, but with the intent to build on those previously learned ideas. Students should expect homework 3-4 times a week, but it should reinforce skills practiced in class. I don't want students to spend more than an hour doing their math homework, and most of the time, it should only be 15-20 minutes.
