Summary:
A committee of middle school and high school teachers and the Mathematics Coordinator from the SASS department met to develop the Algebra Readiness course of study. Algebra Readiness is a course aligned with the California Common Core Standards for 8th grade mathematics. The emphasis is on transitioning from concrete, basic math skills to abstract algebraic, geometric and statistical concepts. This course is designed to meet the needs of 8th graders who do not need to repeat Pre-Algebra but are not ready for Algebra I.
