The course uses McDougal Littell's Passport to Algebra and Geometry. It builds
on the fundamental middle school concepts covered in the previous book in this
series (used in 6th grade), while shifting the emphasis to essential concepts
in algebra and geometry. Algebraic equations and inequalities, proportional
reasoning, and properties of geometric figures are some of the topics
covered. Conceptual learning is balanced with skills practice. These include
operations with integers, fractions, decimals, percents and exponents. For the
complete syllabus, go to the "handouts" link.
[The universe] cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become
familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in
mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other
geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend
a single word.
Galilei, Galileo (1564 - 1642)
