In this Math course, students study the mathematical concepts that will help them as they transition through middle school and prepare for Pre-Algebra. They will explore divisibility rules, factors and real- world use for integers and then study graphing, absolute value, and comparing and ordering integers. Next they define rational numbers and learn to compare and order them. They discuss the parts of an expression, and determine how to write verbal phrases as expressions. They will also explore the use of exponents, and study the order of operations and discuss substituting values for variables and using substitution in algebraic expressions. They will also master how fractions, decimals, and percents are related to each other and bring math to life, presenting compelling and engaging real-world applications.
