Current Math Courses

Pick-and-choose units are geared for ages 6-12, and vary in duration. Elementary Explorations is not a complete curriculum, but meant to enrich and support younger students' mathematical understanding and enjoyment of math.

This course focuses on building a strong skill foundation for pre-algebra and high school level math courses. Students will gain practice and understanding of a wide-range of basic facts and mathematical skills involving integers, fractions, decimals and percentages. Students will be introduced to solving one-step and two-step equations and inequalities. Mrs. Math recommends this course for advanced 5th grade students, or 6th/7th graders preparing to take pre-algebra.

This course serves as a bridge between elementary and high school mathematics, and is typically taught in the 8th grade. Students will build a foundation of algebraic concepts, such as factoring, proportions, graphing on a coordinate plane, and solving linear equations and inequalities. Problem solving, reasoning, estimation, and connections between math and everyday applications will be emphasized throughout the course. Mrs. Math recommends this course for any middle school or high school student preparing to take Algebra.

This course is a comprehensive elementary algebra course that does an in-depth exploration of variables, algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, functions, and all their multiple representations. Students will explore solving real-world application problems, demonstrate the appropriate use of graphing calculators, and communicate mathematical ideas clearly. This course lays the foundation for mathematical literacy that will help students be successful in every subsequent course in mathematics. Mrs. Math recommends this course for any middle school or high school student that has successfully completed pre-algebra.

This course builds on geometric concepts that students have been exposed to in earlier grades, but with one key difference that students must prove and explain the concepts. Students will build chains of reasoning to explain, model and prove geometric relationships and situations involving parallel and perpendicular lines, the coordinate plane, polygons, circles, trigonometry, congruence and similarity, surface area, volume, and transformations.
