Students will review and reinforce skills in computation with whole and rational numbers throughout the year. Students will recognize basic geometric shapes and use appropriate formulas to calculate perimeter, area and volume. Students will use mathematically correct forms for using formulas. Students will write and solve proportions and use percents in computations. Basic algebra concepts and skills are introduced and reinforced throughout the class.
The general objectives of the course are to: (1) review basic math concepts, (2) apply knowledge to new math concepts, and (3) improve study skills through assignment organization and problem solving procedures.
