This course’s primary aim is to expand number sense and computation skills, develop problem-solving techniques and statistical analysis skills, and identify numerical and geometrical relationships. Class time includes teacher-led discussion and small group work aimed to deepen understanding and encourage ownership of the learning process. Topics include: four operations of whole numbers; place value; algebraic equations and problem solving with and without bar models; multiplication and division of larger numbers; decimals (naming, comparing, rounding, four operations); graphing; statistics; fractions (four operations with and without common denominators); types of angles and polygons; area and perimeter of rectangles; volume of rectangular prisms; and more.
Note: This course uses a customized version of the highly-rated [urlnew=http://www.mathmammoth.com]Math Mammoth[/urlnew] curriculum and is offered in cooperation with Math Mammoth. This curriculum is the same one used in TPS Math Fundamentals 6 and Pre-Algebra courses, and is specifically designed to prepare a student for the Pearson math series used in TPS Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2.
