7 年級和 8 年級的實用數學！

In this semester long course, students will explore topics from the grades 7 and 8 math curriculums and use their skills to solve practical math problems. This course will cover order of operations, variable equations, linear relationships, geometry, statistics, ratios, and perfect squares. We will also review key components of algebra.

The class will be delivered with both lecture components and interactive activities. Students will be encouraged to work on problems in class with the help of their teacher.  There will also be an opportunity each week for students to review any material from a previous class that they need extra help with.
