Mathematics (Math) 

6th-grade students will take: Mathematics (Math) Math 6 TEA:02820000 2 Semesters Prerequisite: Mathematics Grade 5 Course

Description: The primary focal points of 6th grade math include using operations with integers and positive rational numbers to solve problems, understanding and applying ratios and rates and using equivalent ratios to represent proportional relationships, using expressions and equations to represent relationships, and understanding data representation. 

7th-grade students will take: Math 8 TEA:03103100 2 Semesters Prerequisite: Mathematics Grade 7

Course Description: The primary focal points for 8th grade math include representing, applying, and analyzing proportional relationships, using expressions and equations to describe relationships—including the Pythagorean Theorem, and making inferences from data. Problem solving will be incorporated throughout all concepts. 

8th-grade students will take: Algebra I Grade: 8, 9 TEA: 03100500 Credit: 1.0 Prerequisite: Grade 8 or its equivalent

Course Description: In Algebra I, students will build on the knowledge and skills for mathematics in Grades 6-8, which provide a foundation in linear relationships, number and operations, and proportionality. Students will study linear, quadratic, and exponential functions and their related transformations, equations, and associated solutions. Students will connect functions and their associated solutions in both mathematical and real-world situations. Students will use technology to collect and explore data and analyze statistical relationships. In addition, students will study polynomials of degree one and two, radical expressions, sequences, and laws of exponents. Students will generate and solve linear systems with two equations and two variables and will create new functions through transformations.
