Introduction to Saxon
Introduction to Saxon provides students with a solid foundation of skills and concepts needed for success in analytic and quantitative
courses. Concepts and skills will be emphasized through facts practice, mental math, problem solving, daily lessons, daily practice, and
cumulative tests.
Grade: 7-8
Length: Year
Prerequisite: Placement test
Pre-Algebra
Pre-Algebra fortifies and builds upon the student’s foundation of math skills. Students will be introduced to rudimentary algebra topics
such as the evaluation of algebraic expressions, the simplification of algebraic expressions and the solution of linear equations.
Grade: 7-8
Length: Year
Prerequisite: Introduction to Saxton or placement test
Algebra I
Algebra I provides a foundation in the basic concepts and skills of Algebra. Students will be introduced to Geometry through the study of
angles, polygons, circles and geometric proofs. Grade of “A” or “B” will be considered High School credit.

| Jr. High Mathematics Course Descriptions |
| Math classes are determined by ability not grade. Prior to enrollment, each new student will take a math placement test. Although a student's placement test score will determine their math class, teachers monitor student progress at the beginning of the semester to ensure that math placement test scores accurately reflect student ability. Students whose math placement test scores are below the skills necessary for Introduction to Saxon must pass the course during summer school. Students enrolling mid-year whose math placement test scores are below the skills necessary for Introduction to Saxon will have the class twice a day (instead of an elective) until their grade consistently reflects a "C" or higher. After school math tutoring is mandatory for students receiving "D" and "F's." |
