Pre-Requisites

Grade of 75 or below in Common Core Math 8 Teacher recommendation

Intended Audience: This course is designed for the student who has successfully completed 8th grade math by the end of the 8th grade. The 9th grade Pre-Algebra course will develop an understanding of real numbers, recognizing fractions, decimals, percents, and different

representations of rational numbers. Students develop an extended knowledge of relationships between positive and negative numbers and the

operations of integers and order of operations. They extend their mastery of the properties of operations to develop and understanding of

integer exponents, and to work with numbers written in scientific notation. Students will use linear equations to represent, analyze and solve a

variety of problems. Students will strategically chose and efficiently implement procedures to solve linear equations in one variable.

After successfully completing this course, students will be allowed to enroll in Algebra I Part 10A.
