Pre-Algebra
This half-credit course is divided into two parts: Measurement and Geometry and Fundamental Algebra. In Measurement and Geometry, the topics include measurement, squares and cubes, rectangles and rectangular solids, triangles, and circles and cylinders. In Fundamental Algebra, the topics include algebraic terms, adding and subtracting terms, multiplying and dividing terms, and equations. Graded coursework for each part includes unit assignments and unit tests.
Applied Math: Problem Solving, Part I
This half-credit course is designed to help students develop thinking skills and problem solving techniques to enable them to apply math skills to real-world situations. Topics include calculating perimeters, estimating costs, comparing decimals, writing equivalent equations, calculating measures of various angles, identifying points on coordinate graphs, rounding and estimating, measuring area and volume, using formulas to compute total cost and distance, solving multi-step problems, evaluating expressions involving squares and square roots, using the Pythagorean theorem, calculating measures (circumference, diameter, and area) of circles, and writing numbers in scientific notation. Graded coursework includes lesson exercises, 14 lesson quizzes, 12 problem solving tasks (based on the CIM open-ended math assessments and scored according to the ODE's official scoring guide), a real-world math project, and a final exam.
Applied Math: Problem Solving, Part II
This half-credit course continues the skills started in Part I to help students apply math skills to real-world situations. Topics include using fractions and decimals, using ratios to solve several types of problems, using proportions to solve problems and to compare prices, solving percent equations, computing simple interest, computing and finding the rates of increase and decrease, finding slopes, graphing equations, collecting and organizing data, presenting and interpreting information for data analysis, organizing and graphing data, and predicting results based on probability. Graded coursework includes lesson exercises, 13 lesson quizzes, 11 problem solving tasks (based on CIM open-ended math assessments and scored according to the ODE's official scoring guide), a statistical study project, and a final exam.
