Mathematics
GRADE 6 MATHEMATICS
Course Code 02036G0606
Math 6 follows the Alabama Course of Study Standards for sixth grade. The curriculum encompasses a variety of topics, including operations and algebra, ratios and rates, rational numbers, expressions and equations, geometric reasoning, and statistics. By concentrating on a limited number of concepts, students are able to develop a more profound comprehension of mathematical ideas. Successful completion of this course will prepare students for Math 7.
GRADE 6 ACCELERATED MATHEMATICS
Course Code 02999HPK06
Accelerated Math 6 is aligned with the Alabama Course of Study Standards for sixth grade and offers a more comprehensive exploration of the subject. This course is intended for students aiming to advance to Accelerated Math 7. Topics covered will include operations and algebra, ratios and rates, rational numbers, expressions and equations, geometric reasoning, and statistics.
GRADE 7 MATHEMATICS
Course Code 02037G0707
Math 7 aligns with the Alabama Course of Study Standards for seventh grade. The curriculum encompasses various topics, including rational numbers, proportional reasoning, equations and expressions, 2D and 3D geometry, as well as statistics and probability. By focusing on a limited number of topics, students develop a more profound understanding of mathematical concepts. Completion of this course prepares students for Math 8.
GRADE 7 ACCELERATED MATHEMATICS
Course Code 02037H0707
Accelerated Math 7 is a rigorous course tailored for students aiming to enroll in Accelerated Math 8 in the following year. The curriculum covers the Accelerated Math 7 course of study, including topics such as rational numbers, proportional reasoning, exponents, multi-step equations and inequalities, algebraic expressions, linear equations, linear functions, 2D and 3D geometry, and statistics and probability. Enrollment in this course is essential for students wishing to advance to Accelerated Math 8 next year.
GRADE 8 MATHEMATICS
Course Code 02038G0808
Math 8 follows the Alabama Course of Study Standards for 8th grade. Topics covered will include, but are not limited to: number theory, properties of exponents, algebraic expressions, slope-intercept form, linear functions, systems of linear equations, the Pythagorean Theorem, and methods of data collection and analysis.
GRADE 8 ACCELERATED MATHEMATICS
Course Code 02038H0808
The Accelerated Grade 8 course is based on the Alabama Course of Study Standards for 8th grade and is specifically designed for middle school students who successfully completed Accelerated Math 7 in the previous year. This course encompasses five main areas: The Number System, Expressions and Equations, Functions, Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. The emphasis in algebra will be on quadratic relationships.
*Accelerated Pathway Descriptor: In this pathway, students meet all the standards of Grade 7, Grade 8, and Algebra 1 with probability within the two accelerated courses, thus merging all the standards from three years of mathematics into two years. Clearly, this pathway will be challenging and should be reserved for students in Grade 7 who are mathematically inclined and show particular motivation and interest in mathematics. Students must successfully complete Grade 7 Accelerated to enroll in Grade 8 Accelerated. Students who successfully complete this pathway in Grades 7 and 8 will accelerate into Algebra II with Statistics after completing Geometry with Data Analysis in Grade 9. Additionally, students who do not complete the accelerated pathway in middle school can later take Geometry with Data Analysis and Algebra I with Probability concurrently in Grade 9 to re-enter the accelerated track.
