Course Description

  • Course Description: The overall emphasis in this course will be on helping struggling math students with researched based interventions.  Individualized math interventions will support and assist students in improving both their math fluency and comprehension skills.  Some time will be spent on supporting the grade level standards.

  • Number and Operation 

    • Read, write, compare, classify and represent real numbers, and use them to solve problems in various contexts. (8.1.1)

    Algebra 

    • Understand the concept of function in real-world and mathematical situations, and distinguish between linear and nonlinear functions.  (8.2.1)

    • Recognize linear functions in real-world and mathematical situations; represent linear functions with tables, verbal descriptions, symbols and graphs; solve problems involving these functions and explain results in the original context. (8.2.2)

    • Represent real-word and mathematical situations using equations and inequalities involving linear expressions.  Solve equations and inequalities symbolically and graphically.  Interpret solutions in the original context.(8.2.4)

    Geometry and Measurement 

    • Solve problems involving parallel and perpendicular lines on a coordinate system.  (8.3.2)

    Data Analysis

    • Interpret data using scatter plots and approximate lines of best fit.  Use lines of best fit to draw conclusions about data.  (8.4.1)
