This year we will be following the North Carolina Course of Study for Algebra and take the end of course exam in May.  We will focus on solving problems using and expanding skills from prior years.  Included in the topics covered will be solving equations and inequalities, solving and applying proportions, graphs and functions including linear, absolute value, quadratic and rational expressions, and functions.  With each of these topics application of concepts will be applied to real world situations.

Grade 7 Math

Students will continue to develop basic math skills.  These will be extended to include ratios, proportions, percents and the relationships among them, solution of equations and inequalities, linear functions and graphing, spatial thinking, areas and volumes.  They will learn to solve problems arising from a real world context, and use various models to represent numeric geometric and algebraic concepts.  We will use concepts of ratio and proportionality to solve problems in geometry, probability and Algebra.

Grade 6 Math

We will continue to build on the foundation started in previous years.  We will compare, compute, and solve problems with integers, fractions and decimals.  We will use variables and algebraic expressions.  Among the topics covered will be order of operations, evaluating algebraic expressions, solving one-step equations with integers, fractions and decimals.  Particular attention will be paid to operations with fractions.
