Fundamentals of Mathematics (Traditional Approach)

Full-year course. Fundamentals of Mathematics is a logic stage mathematics course to prepare students for pre-algebra. Because the course focuses on preparation for success in higher-level math and science, some basic skills like measurement, time, and introductory data representation will not be covered. Topics include but are not limited to: a review of basic arithmetic skills, including operations, set and number theory, decimals, percents, integers, variables, the Cartesian plane, functions, and basic geometry. Emphasis is given to expertise with fractions. The course also includes brief introductions to radicals and exponents, statistics, probability, and solving equations and inequalities.

Students’ parents, guardians, or their designees are expected to assist students in completing some assigned tasks, and are required to verify some assignment completion. Students must scan selected work and upload it into Blackboard.
