COURSE TITLE: Math
7A
PREREQUISITE: Rec. of 6th grade teacher/counselor
LENGTH: Full year
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is intended to establish and/or strengthen
students' understanding of mathematical concepts. Experiences with manipulative,
where appropriate, will create clearer mental images to represent abstract
ideas. Students should be involved in activities which require the choice
of using estimation, mental computation, or paper/pencil to arrive at
a solution. Problem solving will be an integral part of the students'
mathematical experiences.
AREAS OF STUDY:
Measurement Statistics Use of calculators Estimation
Fractions Geometry Decimals Problem solving
Reading and writing large numbers Whole number operations
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO:
Bring required materials to class Complete assignments on time
Participate in class discussions Use a calculator in class
Perform successfully on tests and quizzes
