Accelerated Pre-Algebra, Full Curriculum, With a Licensed Math Teacher.

This will be a teacher lead math class; concepts will be presented by the teacher and practiced together as a class. Some lessons will include investigative activities when applicable. All classes will include discussion structured to enhance learning and build community. The topics covered are:
Rational Numbers and Equations: This will include defining rational numbers, operations with fractions (review), introduction to properties of equality and inequality.
Solving Equations: In this unit we will work on solving equations which is the beginning of teaching Logic. This unit includes Properties and operations, the distributive property, Simplifying variable expressions, variables and equations, solving equations using the properties of equality and decimal operations with equations.
Multi-Step Equations and Inequalities: This unit builds off of the last unit with more complex applications. We will be solving two step/multi-step equations, equations with the variable on both sides of the equal sign, and solving simple and complex inequalities.
Factors, Fractions and Exponents: This unit builds off of what we've learned about factors and uses this to understand exponents. We will learn about factors and prime factorization, greatest common factor, equivalent fractions with variables, least common multiple of monomials, rules of exponents, negative exponents exponent of zero and scientific notation.
Rational Numbers and Equations: This is a comprehensive review of fractions integrated with variables. We will cover rational numbers, operations with fractions, the multiplicative inverse, and solving equations and inequalities with fractions.
 Ratio, Proportion and Probability: This unit is devoted to everything proportional including ratios and rates, writing and solving proportions, cross products, similarity and congruence, measurement and scale, scaled drawings, probability and odds and the multiplication principle.
Linear functions, real numbers and right triangles, intro to trigonometry, measurement and volume, and angle relations and transformations.
Please note that I will tailor topics to fit each class. If I have students transitioning from another class I will do my best to make sure I pick up where they left off in their last class.
