• Pre-Algebra (MS) - Bridge the gap between basic arithmetic and a more advance study of
mathematics with Pre-Algebra. This course includes a cumulative study of previously learned
concepts plus introductions to multiplying and dividing polynomials, complementary and
supplementary angles, buying stocks and bonds, algebraic word problems, and more. With
daily exercises, examples, review exercises, Problem Solving Strategies, charts and tables,
and a glossary of terms, your child will be equipped with the tools to succeed in Pre-Algebra!
Homework: 5 daily lessons per week with practice problems, weekly open book quizzes,
