Math

This is a high school credit course intended for 8th grade students who successfully complete Math II/III or Math III. It covers all Virginia Standards of Learning for Algebra I and prepares students to pursue higher level mathematics and science study in high school. See Guidelines for Placement of Students in Honors/AP/Dual Enrolled Classes. SOL tested course

This is a high school course intended for accelerated students who successfully complete Algebra I. The problems of this course are more challenging than those of the academic Geometry course. Congruent triangles, parallel lines, circles, areas and volumes, similarity, and techniques for writing proofs will be studied in depth. SOL tested course

Mathematics 6 emphasizes understanding math through problem solving. The content strands include number and number sense, computation and estimation, measurement, geometry, probability, statistics, and patterns, functions, and algebra. Students will use concrete materials and technologies to model and investigate concepts. Students will often work in teams on mathematical tasks, communicating their reasoning orally and in writing. Connections to real-life, other subjects, and between math strands are emphasized. SOL tested course

Mathematics 6/7 students will learn all of the Grade 6 and half of the Grade 7 Standards of Learning in this compacted course. This pathway will lead to Honors Algebra I in 8th grade which leads to the option to take college level and AP math courses in high school. Students will take the Math Grade 6 SOL assessment.

Mathematics 7 students solve tasks emphasizing rational numbers, consumer applications, proportional reasoning, 2-D and 3-D measurement and geometry, probability, and functional relationships. Students will use concrete materials and technologies to model and investigate concepts including integer operations and solving two-step equations and inequalities. Statistics emphasizes histograms, comparing them to other displays and forming inferences. The focus is on understanding math through problem solving. SOL tested course.

Mathematics 7/8 students will complete the Grade 7 and Grade 8 Standards of Learning in this compacted course. This pathway will lead to Honors Algebra I in 8th grade which leads to the option to take college-level and AP math courses in high school. Math Grade 8 SOL tested course.

Mathematics 8 provides the essential skills for successful entry into Algebra I. Topics include objectives from the number and number sense, computation and estimation, measurement and geometry, probability and statistics, and patterns, functions, and algebra strands of the Standards of Learning. New content will prepare students for more abstract concepts in algebra and geometry. SOL tested course
