02052 Advanced Mathematics 8 & Algebra I

This combined course integrates key concepts from Math 8 and Algebra I, providing an in-depth and accelerated exploration of mathematical principles. Students will refine their understanding of the coordinate plane, graphing equations, and transforming shapes through reflections, translations, and dilations. Real-world applications, such as calculating tax, tips, and discounts, are emphasized, while students tackle advanced topics like surface area, volume, and probability. Algebra I concepts are introduced with a focus on solving and graphing linear and quadratic equations, working with inequalities, and understanding the behavior of functions and function notation. Students will also explore exponents, polynomials, and foundational data analysis techniques. This course equips students with the skills and knowledge needed for higher-level math while demonstrating the relevance of mathematics in everyday life.
