Semester 2 of 2 – In this course, students continue to build a solid mathematical foundation that will prepare them for future middle-and-high school level mathematics courses. Students apply their knowledge of rational numbers and integers to everyday situations. They convert words to expressions and vice versa, using equations and inequalities as problem-solving tools. Rates, ratios, and proportions are used to solve problems involving taxes, percent error, commission, and interest by using rates, ratios, and proportions. Students’ knowledge of linear equations is extended to linear functions, where they explore features including slope and intercepts. A focus on geometry includes work with similar and congruent figures, scale drawings, polygons, and three-dimensional solids. Students end the course by studying statistics and probability concepts, including making predictions with lines of best fit, exploring sampling methods, and designing probability models.
