Pre-Algebra
Pre-Algera Course Description
Pre-Algebra is a foundation course. Algebra concepts are introduced and practiced, and a higher level of academic demand is placed on students compared to Math 6. Students are encouraged to focus on important study skills such as communication of their mathematical reflection, academic discussion, self-discipline and responsibility.
The course is designed to strengthen students’ previously acquired numerical and geometrical skills; it intends to add to the students’ repertoire of concepts and strategies to empower them to be successful in Algebra courses in the future. This is why it is important to include a wide coverage of different kinds of numbers (natural, integers, rational), different ways of representation, operations, and relationships. Geometry is essential as a context within which algebraic ideas are comfortably experienced. In addition, the PreAlgebra course will introduce the students to algebraic thought and reasoning: the course will include an exploration of the idea of variable, solving simple equations, and basic manipulation of simple algebraic expressions.
