Math I

Math I is designed to help students build a strong foundation in mathematics through rich tasks involving hands-on activities and explorations. This course focuses on comprehending mathematical concepts and operations, and procedural fluency. Students will also develop their organizational skills and practice presenting their work in a clear and legible manner. Math I & II students will take a mid-semester assessment that may result in a new placement to better meet their needs.
