Pre-Algebra

The California Common Core Standards for pre-algebra serve as the guide for this course. The class will cover the following standards this school year.

Ratios and Proportional Relationships

• Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real- world and mathematical problems.

The Number System

•   Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

•   Know that there are numbers that are not rational and approximate them by rational numbers. 


Expressions and Equations

•      Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.

•      Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.


Geometry

•  Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.

Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

•     Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres. 


Statistics and Probability

•   Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population.

•   Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.

•    Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.
