PreAlgebra

Service Description

This PreAlgebra class is usually taken as an optional second PreAlgebra course for students who have scored less than 85% in PreAlgebra 1 (Saxon 8/7). This class moves more quickly than Saxon 8/7, includes more arithmetic in the first half of the course, and represents a culmination of PreAlgebra mathematics, covering all topics normally taught in PreAlgebra, as well as additional topics from geometry and discrete mathematics (used in engineering and computer sciences). Students can deepen their understanding of PreAlgebra topics such as fractions, decimals, percents, mixed numbers, signed numbers, order of operations, evaluation of algebraic expressions, and solutions for linear equations in one unknown. Note: it is recommended for students who do well in Saxon math 8/7 to go straight into Algebra 1 and for students who struggle in Saxon Math 8/7 (score less than 85%) to take Saxon Algebra ½ the following year for more preparation before going into Algebra 1.
