Middle School Mathematics Course A extends students’ understanding of numbers and computation to include fractions, decimals, and percents. All concepts and skills are presented in the context of problem solving that requires the use of reasoning and communication. Areas of focus include data representation and analysis using frequency table and circle graphs, customary and metric measurement, geometric relationships and transformations, algebraic patterns and relationships, and probability. Students in Middle School Mathematics Course A will go on to either Middle School Mathematics Course B or Investigations into Mathematics the following year.
