Course Descriptions

Honors 7th Grade Math (Core Connections 2 and 3) Expand

Core Connections, Courses 2 and 3 are the second and third of a three-year sequence of courses designed to prepare students for a rigorous college preparatory algebra course. This year long course condenses the material presented in Courses 2 and 3 and moves students through the lessons at an accelerated pace in preparation to take Honors Algebra I in 8th grade. It uses a problem-based approach with concrete models. The course helps students to develop multiple strategies to solve problems and to recognize the connections between concepts. The lessons in the course meet all of the content standards and embed the “Mathematical Practices” of the Common Core State Standards.

Admittance to this course is via successful completion of Core Connections 1 and teacher recommendation.

7th Grade Math (Core Connections 2) Expand

Core Connections, Course 2 is the second of a three-year sequence of courses designed to prepare students for a rigorous college preparatory algebra course. It uses a problem-based approach with concrete models. The course helps students to develop multiple strategies to solve problems and to recognize the connections between concepts. The lessons in the course meet all of the content standards and embed the “Mathematical Practices” of the Common Core State Standards.

Learning Support Math Grades 7 and 8 Expand

This course is designed for students who need to develop basic mathematics and pre-algebra/algebra skills and who have an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Students use a variety of materials to develop conceptual understanding and mastery of basic pre-algebra/algebra skills.

Honors Geometry Expand

This course includes the study of reasoning and proofs, parallel and perpendicular lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, polygons, and transformations. The study of triangles will include congruency, similarity, and an introduction to right triangle trigonometry. This course is designed for students who have completed Honors Algebra I.

Honors Algebra I (Core Connections Algebra) Expand

Core Connections Algebra aims to deepen and extend student understanding built in previous courses by focusing on developing fluency with solving linear equations and inequalities and systems; extending these skills to solving quadratic and exponential functions; exploring functions, including sequences, graphically, numerically, symbolically and verbally; and using regression techniques to analyze the fit of models to distributions of data.

Admittance to this course is via placement exam, teacher recommendation, standardized testing and a history of success in previous mathematics courses.

Algebra I (Algebra Connections) Expand

Algebra Connections delivers traditionally rigorous algebraic content using a problem-based approach. It has strong threads woven throughout the course on multiple representations and the meaning of a solution. A major focus of the course is to develop multiple strategies to solve problems and to recognize multiple ways of understanding concepts.

8th Grade Math (Core Connections 3) Expand

Core Connections, Course 3 is the third of a three-year sequence of courses designed to prepare students for a rigorous college preparatory algebra course. It uses a problem-based approach with concrete models. The course helps students to develop multiple strategies to solve problems and to recognize the connections between concepts.
