-  Simplify expressions by combining like terms, distributing, and factoring linear expressions.
- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide monomials and polynomials.
- Solve one-step, two-step, and multi-step equations, including cases with no solution or infinite solutions.

Week 4-
- Solve and graph multi-step inequalities and apply inequalities in word problems.
- Solve word problems involving proportions, unit rates, and systems of linear equations.
- Use the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse in solving word problems and real-world applications.


At the end of this class, learners be prepared for 8th grade math! We will work at the pace of our learners, additional support is available for learners struggling with a specific concept.
