Semester 2 of 2 – Credit Recovery Course: Pre-Algebra helps students make a successful transition from arithmetic to algebra by focusing on basic concepts of arithmetic and the applications of mathematics. Students learn how to perform operations with integers and decimals. Students expand this knowledge to solve basic linear equations and inequalities. Students use their knowledge of fractions to work with ratios, rates, and proportions. Next, students explore how to display visual representations of numbers with bar graphs, histograms, and circle graphs. They take this skill and apply it to algebra as they plot points and basic equations on the coordinate plane. Students end the course with an exploration of measures of central tendency, data displays, and simple probabilities. The course highlights the math skills needed to be successful in everyday life and prepares students for future mathematics courses.
