Concepts 8th Grade

This class covers topics at a slower pace than the regular Algebra class. Students will have time to practice, review and consolidate each section before moving on to the next topic.

The curriculum includes the real number system, algebraic reasoning, solving multi-step equations and inequalitites, proportional relationships, percents, exponents, analyzing and displaying data, geometric figures, and measurement.

The text used in this class is: Intervention, Holt McDougal 2012.

Students have access to a workbook.
