Algebraic Reasoning 7

The Algebraic Reasoning 7 course extends student thinking from arithmetic to algebra. It builds upon arithmetical understanding and introduces critical foundations for thinking algebraically by exploring topics such as factorization, signed numbers, variables, exponents, ratios and proportions, solving multi-step algebraic expressions, functional notation and graphing functions, mathematical sentences and linear equations.

Pre-Algebra 8

Pre-Algebra is designed for students who are beginning the study of algebra. It explores topics such asreal numbers, solving equations, inequalities, operations with polynomials, factoring polynomials, rational expressions and equations, radicals, quadratic equations, linear systems.

Pre-Algebra 7

Pre-Algebra is designed for students who are beginning the study of algebra. It explores topics such as variables and expressions, multi-step equations, factors and exponents, rational numbers and ratios; classifying polygons and determining various values for selected features of polygons and permutations.

Algebra 8

The Algebra 8 course covers topics typically introduced in a first-year high school algebra course. Specific topics include arithmetic and evaluation of expressions involving signed numbers, factors, roots and exponents, properties or real numbers absolute value, scientific notation, unit conversions, solutions of equations, the algebra of polynomials and rational expressions, Pythagorean theorem, functional notation and functions, solutions of quadratic equations by factoring, direct and inverse variation, computation of the perimeter and area of two-dimensional regions, computation of the surface area and volume of a wide variety of geometric solids.

Advanced Topics

This course explores advanced concepts relating to algebra, geometry and the introduction of trigonometry.

Geometry

This accelerated course is a comprehensive study of plane and solid geometry including constructions, formulas for measurement and formal proofs. It is based on the axioms and theorems that relate points, lines, planes, and solids. Many of the topics are covered in great depth, especially area and volume of solids. Additional emphasis is placed on the integration of algebraic techniques in solving geometric problems.

All junior high students are expected to participate in daily physical education classes. A variety of physical activities are offered during the year. Children may be exempted from some or all physical activities with an excuse from parent(s)/guardian(s) for a period of up to three days. Students who need to be excused beyond that or for an extended length of time must provide a written excuse submitted to the school by a person licensed under the Medical Practice Act. Alternative activities and/or units of instruction will be provided for pupils whose physical or emotional condition prevents their participation in the physical education courses as determined by a person licensed under the Medical Practice Act.

Physical Education Lockers
The physical education teachers assign PE lockers. Students should lock all personal possessions in the gym locker. The school retains the right to inspect gym lockers and their contents to assure that the locker is being used for the intended purpose.

Physical Education Uniforms and Supplies
Students are required to have school regulation uniforms, available for purchase at the beginning of the school year. Uniforms are to be worn every day for classes. Students should take their uniforms home each week for laundering. Other supplies needed for PE include gym shoes, socks, and a sweatshirt for outdoor activities.

Human Growth and Development
Human Growth and Development is taught as a separate unit. Content and activities are carefully selected for the grade level involved. Parent involvement is essential for the success of this curriculum.

Usually in April, the seventh and eighth grade science teachers invite parents to attend an informational meeting on the Human Growth and Production Unit. Parents are invited to preview the following videos that will be shown during the seventh grade Totally Awesme Health Curriculum: "About Puberty, Bodies in Progress for Boys and Girls" and "Fetal Development: A Nine-Month Journey." The eighth grade science teachers will share the information that will be taught in relation to communicable diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS.

If, after previewing the curriculum materials that will be presented to the students, parents would prefer that their child not participate in this unit they have the option to withdraw their children from this unit of instruction by sending a written request to the principal and an alternate curriculum will be made available.
