Students will take a last "grammar school look" at topics such as percents, ratios, rates, data handling, triangles and quadrilaterals, fractions and decimals, all of them now done at a much deeper level than previously, to prepare students to work with these topics in their upcoming Algebra class.

PreAlgebra topics are thoroughly covered: exponents, distributing, like terms, simple linear equations and inequalities, algebraic manipulations, working with roots and radicals, the slope of a line and y = mx + b form of the equation of a line, the concept of a function, and the geometric component, exterior angles of a triangle, volumes and surface areas of cylinders, cones and pyramids.

As the class progresses, students now move into Algebra "Proper," now solving harder linear equations, and simple quadratics.

Word problems are present throughout the entire course, in all areas of the curriculum.
