This course continues the development of comprehension and analysis of informational and fictional texts with an
ongoing emphasis on reading strategies. Students express themselves using standard (formal) English in written and
oral presentations. Analyzing and practicing the form and structure of various genres of writing enhances students’
communication skills. Students study a variety of media to understand informational and persuasive techniques, explicit and implied messages, and how visual and auditory cues affect messages. Grammar, usage, and mechanics skills are deepened. Students continue to widen their vocabulary and apply acquisition strategies. The course includes discussion activities that engage students in the curriculum while creating a sense of community
The Math 8 course prepares students for more advanced study in algebra as students solve linear equations and
systems of equations, work with radical and integer exponents, gain conceptual understanding of functions, and
use functions to model quantitative relationships. To prepare students for more advanced study in geometry, the course
emphasizes the Pythagorean theorem and a deepening exploration of similarity and congruence.

In the Math 7 course, students focus on real-world scenarios and mathematical problems involving algebraic expressions
and linear equations and begin to apply their understanding of rational numbers with increased complexity. The course
lays the foundation for exploring concepts of angle, similarity and congruence, more formally addressed in Math 8, as
students work with scale drawings and construct and analyze relationships among geometric figures. Students also develop
and apply understandings of proportional relationships.
