Exploring Pre-Algebra Part 4: Getting Ready for Algebra!

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive coverage of the concepts in a Pre-Algebra 1 course. This is Part 4, the final section, and will focus on the areas of Distance, Angle, Statistics, Probability, Surface Area and Volume. 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 10 weeks. This class will cover chapters 11 - 13. Part 1 covered chapters 1-3, Part 2 covered chapters 4 - 7, and Part 3 covered chapters 8 - 10. The topics are as follows:
