Math Courses
Level of math placement will be dependent on district assessments, state assessments, and teacher recommendation. Your child's math teacher will be placing your child into the appropriate math class.
MATH 6
Math 6 is an on-grade level mathematics course guided by the Grade 6 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. The primary focus areas of this math course is to concentrate on number and operations; proportionality; expressions, equations &relationships; and measurement & data. Students will become fluent in integer operations and multiplying and dividing positive rational numbers. Mental math and estimation are stressed, and calculators are utilized to some extent.
MATH 6/7
This is an accelerated program designed to prepare the student to eventually study Algebra I in the eighth grade. This course consists of 6th and 7th grade TEKS and will have a strong emphasis on relating math to the real world through critical thinking and mathematical reasoning. Because this is combining 6th and 7th grade curricula, it is a fast-paced course that covers number and operations; proportionality; expressions, equations & relationships; and measurement & data. Students will become fluent in all operations of rational numbers. Students will be expected to score 80% or higher on major assessments.
MATH 7
Math 7 is an on-grade level mathematics course guided by the Grade 7 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. The primary focus areas in Grade 7 are number and operations; proportionality; expressions, equations, and relationships; and measurement and data. Students will become fluent in all operations of rational numbers. There is emphasis on algebra readiness skills to prepare for Math 8.
MATH 7 PRE-AP
Math 7 Pre-AP is an on grade level academically advanced course designed to challenge students to understand rigorous content guided by the Grade 7 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. Math 7 Pre-AP is different in pace, depth, breadth, and/or complexity than Math 7 curriculum. The primary focus areas in Grade 7 Pre-AP are number and operations; proportionality; expressions, equations, and relationships; and measurement and data. Students will become fluent in all operations of rational numbers.
MATH 8
Math 8 is an on-grade level mathematics course guided by the Grade 8 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills.
