Description
This class meets 6th period and covers the 8th grade math curriculum.
The class numbers are kept small and a paraprofessional works with the teacher.
While teaching the grade level curriculum, students are also working on activities to teach skills students are missing from previous years' math curriculum.
This is a graded classes with grades for homework, classwork, quizzes, and tests.
