Seventh Grade Course Descriptions

710 Pre-Algebra (Course 3)

This course reinforces arithmetic skills, developing the pre-algebra concepts of variable recognition, signed numbers, formulas and single variable equations. Students will be introduced to algebraic symbolism, simplifying expressions, solutions to elementary equations, and the graphic representations associated with variables.

715 Accelerated Pre-Algebra

This accelerated course reinforces the pre-algebra concepts of variable recognition, signed numbers, formulas and single variable equations, introducing the fundamental principles of algebra, which include algebraic symbolism, simplifying expressions, solutions to higher level equations, and the graphic representations associated with variables. Students will synthesize and algebraically represent situations to solve problems, especially those involving linear relationships.

730 Accelerated Algebra I

This accelerated course, incorporating the consistent use of real numbers and a problem solving approach, emphasizes the principles of algebra, including algebraic symbolism, simplifying complex expressions, solutions to linear and quadratic equations, and graphic representations associated with variables. Students will apply algebraic representations to word problems and analyze the nature of changes in linear and non-linear relationships.
