CMP7:  This course covers the topics traditionally taught in a Pre-Algebra course. Additionally, students learn to recognize and generalize patterns and relationships and apply this knowledge to increasingly more difficult problems.

CMP 8:  CMP2 grade 8 covers the topics of a traditional Algebra course. Topics are taught in the context of real-world problems. Students practice skills and problem-solving on a daily basis.

ALGEBRA:  Algebra provides a practical blend of technology-related and paper-and- pencil problem solving tools.  Explorations and investigations emphasize symbol sense, algebraic manipulations and conceptual understandings. Students make sense of important algebraic concepts, learn essential algebraic skills, and discover how to use algebra. This course allows students to experience algebra as an activity and a process that encourages the use of multiple representations-numerical, graphic, symbolic and verbal.

GEOMETRY:  Geometry provides an opportunity for students to explore geometric relationships with a wide variety of hands on experiences. Students perform constructions, measure figures, observe patterns, discuss their findings, write their own definitions, and formulate and prove geometric conjectures. Topics include properties of triangles, polygons and circles, transformations, area and volume, the Pythagorean Theorem, congruence and similarity.

ADVANCED ALGEBRA:  Advanced Algebra provides an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of challenging topics in mathematics. The text provides a balanced mix of data-analysis and pure-algebra techniques in a hands-on investigative approach. Students practice, reason, apply, and review as they progress through the curriculum. Algebraic techniques equip students with multiple problem-solving strategies and prepare them for higher-level courses that may be algebra intensive. Students learn to be selective about choosing between technology tools and by-hand methods.

SAFETY NET MATH: The purpose of the class is to assist the student in the acquisition of grade-level skills and concepts through additional mathematics instruction. Safety Net teachers support students by pre-teaching, re-teaching and extra practice of the concepts and skills being covered in the regular math class.
