Exploring Pre-Algebra Part 2 - Diving Deeper

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive coverage of the concepts in a Pre-Algebra 1 course. This is Part 2 and will focus on the areas of Equations, Proportions, and Similar Figures Students will apply previous mathematical experiences to solve real world problems. 

Every class will follow a similar outline. All classes will begin with a short warm up. This could be skills that they may have previously learned before taking this course, or those that we have just reviewed. After the warm up, the topic will be introduced. The class will follow and I do, We do, you do format. This means, I will review the first few examples. Then we will complete a few examples together and then we will end with a them completing examples independently. There will be homework at the end of each class and it will be due before the start of the next class. Please note this class will run 3 days a week for 9 weeks during the school year and we will only cover the Chapters 5 - 7. Chapters 1 - 4 were covered in Part 1. Students will be encouraged to take part 3 to finish the course. The topics are as follows:
