Pre-Algebra, Part 2
Pre-Algebra, Part 2 builds on the foundational skills introduced in Part 1 by expanding students’ understanding of algebraic and graphical concepts. Students will explore linear and non-linear functions, systems of equations, exponents, radicals, and real-world applications. The course focuses on helping students make the transition from arithmetic to algebraic thinking, preparing them for Algebra I and beyond.
This course integrates our KSA Learning Model (Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes) to promote academic and personal growth:
