Course Description:
This course is designed to prepare students for an Algebra level or 8th grade level math course. In this course you will learn topics that include mathematical operations with rational numbers and negative numbers, proportional relationships, percents and applications of percents, algebraic expression and equations, basic geometrical relationships, probability and statistics. This course leans heavily on being able to solve applications with proportions and inverse operations. You will gain a level of understanding required to succeed at whichever level of mathematics class you move to next. Each video lesson is accompanied by a worksheet to supplement learning. They are also accompanied by a review video that covers the worksheet problems and also acts as a great way to reinforce the learning from the lesson.
